Tour at 13:00

Report from hafsúlan: it was cold today, about -5°C but it was at least not windy and the sea was quite calm except for some long swells that rocked the boat. we passed big flocks of birds three times on the tour, first sea gulls that stayed close to two fishing boats. Then we saw huge flocks of northern fulmars twice, most of them were calm and sitting on the water surface.  Unfortunately we didn’t see any cetaceans today  so all of our passengers got complimentary tickets so they can have a second chance with us.
