Tour at 13:00

We headed out from Hafnarfjörður today in very nice but pretty cold weather. After sailing only a few minutes the captain spotted a small group of Harbour porpoises but they were very shy so none of our passengers could see them. Then two minutes later our first officer spotted something in front of us and it was a Minke whale. What luck..... but the Mike whale only surfaced twice, one time 70 meters in front of us and then one time in the glare of the sun so it was very difficult to see it. We tried to find it again, but there was no sign of the whale even though we spent a long time searching in the area, it had disappeared. We sailed further out trying to find something else but no luck there.
