✔ TOUR ON SCHEDULE | 13:00
Report from Elding: Even though we didn't have sunny weather today, the warm southern wind was making this tour very enjoyable when it comes to the temperature. It's a pitty that the pandemic is causing so few people to wittness what is going on in the bay at the moment. However, the guests that we had on board had a great show despite a bit of swell. Today was one of those days that we call a "full house"; we checked all the possible cetaceans (that we usually se in the bay) of the list. We had a few encounters with harbour porpoises, a pod of 5-6 white-beaked dolphins playing around the boat, minke whales in every possible direction and a pair of humpback whales that were sticking together and a few times came 15-20 m away from us. Sapienti sat.
