Report from Eldey: Temperatures were on a rise since yesterday, and we got a comfortable sailing out as the wind was on our back. The main wildlife we witnessed during the first half of the tour was various sea birds. We saw our usual puffins, arctic terns or gannets, and we had the surprise to see a manx shearwater that we hadn't seen in a while. After reaching half of the tour we started to turn back, and since the wind was blowing against us it got a bit chilly. But fortunately it didn't make the trip any bumpier, so the cruise remained relaxed. Sadly enough, we didn't spotted any whale. We did see a blow at some point but never found the animal. Therefore, we issued complimentary tickets to any adventurer that is willing to try again.
