Tour at 13:00

Report from Hafsúlan: The sailing today was extremely smooth, the sea was very calm and the waves were never high. Though we had an overcast sky and had some rain it never really bothered the smooth sailing. We sailed from Reykjavík harbour and straight out into the middle of the bay. The bird life was fairly sparse, though I saw my first Gannet for months which was a very welcome sight. We had the usual Kittiwakes and Black-headed gulls following the boat and some Fulmars were also circling us. Unfortunately as we didn´t see any sea life we handed out complimentary tickets at the end of the tour.
