CLASSIC WHALE TOUR | 09:00

Report from Eldey: Sailing out this morning, we hoped to continue on the sighting streak of the las days. Sadly, with the increasing wind and waves, we had to follow the coastline and were unable to go out as far as we wished. Though we continuously tried to find our first sightings, nothing was there for us to enjoy apart from the numerous black-backed gulls and Arctic terns. As we started heading back to harbour, a hopeful minke whale appeared twice very close to us. But, as all fled outside to see the whale, it never showed up its snout again, in shy minke fashion. We continued our way home, giving out complimentary tickets for all to come again on a better day.
