Tour at 13:00

We went out from Hafnarfjörður. It was pretty cold today but the weather was really good and beautiful with god visibility. Just when we are leaving the harbour we spot a flock of Shags. We then headed out to Faxaflói bay sailing towards Garðskagi. When we got closer to Keflavík we took a turn to the area where the dolphins had been since mid January and yesterday as well. We didn't see any at first when we got to the area and for a second there we were a bit worried that they had gone to a different area. Luckily we then spot one White-beaked dolphin about 100 meters away from the boat and we slowed down and kept searching carefully all around the boat. More of them start to appear and we believe it was the same group as yesterday, probably around 100 individuals again, it it really hard to say exactly how many they were since they came up all around us both close to the boat and further away. The Gannets and the Kittiwakes were also out there as well feeding with the dolphins on the Herring that was around.
