Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed out in relatively no wind but there was a bit of residual swell. It did rain on and off during the tour which was ok because if you didn´t have the rain and sun you wouldn´t get rainbows, the suns rays escaping through the clouds and dynamic moody skies. It was beautiful. If that wasn´t enough the bay was teaming with life, we saw White-beaked Dolphins (3-5 animals) travelling alongside and around the boat, 2-3 Harbour Porpoises and two different Minke Whales. One time the minke whale even lunged out of the water so that you could see the ventral pleates on the underside of the whale. It was great. There was also many seabirds too skimming and plunging the waters surface such as Gannets, Fulmars, Kittiwakes, Razorbills, Gloucous Gulls and Black-backed Gulls. A very beautiful bay on be on today.
