Tour at 13:00
Report from Eldey: The wind died down a tad compared to this morning, but the scoundrel was still blowing from the North, so warmth was not an option on the outside deck, unless you grabbed one of our brilliant thermal suits! Once kitted in it, we were ready for the cold. We kept the wind and the waves on our back for most of the trip, so the cruising was relaxed until it was time to head back, so we had a circling around with the wind against us this time. But we traded the back wind for a sun in our back, so we got splendid views of Akrafjall and Esjan bathed into light. Nonetheless, our was fruitless, as we did not see much more than a shy harbour porpoise crossing our way at the speed of light. Complimentary tickets were offered, we hope to see more on the next trip!

Report from Eldey: A little windy today but we are probably the warmest country in Europe at the moment so not too bad. Visability was very good, best it's been in a long time and we could really enjoy the stunning landscape that surrounds the bay. Birdlife was also abundant and diverse but unfortunately the whales were not. We sailed far first to the north to gain shelter from the mountains and then south. Wave increased and it what rough on the way home but we tried to get back into shelter of the mountains again towards the blue skies that have been very elusive lately. We offered our passengers complimentary tickets to come again for free within the next two years.
