Tour at 13:00
Big change from yesterday! We had a very nice and successful tour! First we spotted about three minke whales. The weather was good and the whales were easy to follow. There were also some dolphins around but we were so busy watching the minke whales that we couldn't pay a lot of attention. Then all of a sudden we saw in the distance a strange animal which showed a lot of action. It turned out to be a minke whale and a dolphin together. The minke whale swam as fast as it could and we had to sail almost at full speed to keep up with it. We don't really know what was going on but it seemed that the minke whale was somehow afraid of something and tried to get away. Well, we will never figure out what was going on, but it was interesting to watch. It gave us a good idea of how fast minke whales can swim! Just before we turned back we spotted two more minke whales.
