Tour at 13:00
Report from Hafsúlan: We sailed from Hafnarfjörður along the south coast of the Reykjanes peninsula to gain shelter from the strong southeasterly winds. It was quite comfortable as we headed west, enjoying all the seabirds gliding on the air currents. We were surprised to also see some rare birds that we don´t encounter that often including one sooty shearwater and a few storm petrels. We also got a few sightings of the beautiful northern gannet. We were unlucky today with the whale and dolphins, even though there were many seabirds around. Alas nature is nature, all we can do if offer our passengers complimentary tickets to hopefully be more lucky next time round.
