Tour at 13:00

This was a pretty cold day out there on the bay. We were prepared to sail quite far today because we had quite a difficult day yesterday with very few Minke whales around and very difficult to spot them. But we had more luck today. We headed out and came to an area with lots of feeding Gannets. In the same area there were several groups of harbour porpoises! We stayed with them a while then headed out a bit further and came to an area where there were several groups of white-beaked dolphins! They were really great to watch, some of them even swam under the boat. After leaving the dolphins we headed out even further and found a great spot where there were at least 5-6 Minke whales which we could observe for a while, some very close to the boat. A really nice trip!! :)
