Report from Eldey: We had strong winds from southeast and swells out in the bay. The boat was rocking a lot causing some green faces onboard. The ones not suffering from seasickness enjoyed the ride in the swells and the overalls kept us dry from the rain. We search for a long time and at one point a heavy rain front passed by, very cool to feel the power of the sea and the weather from a boat. The wildlife was difficult to observe today, we spotted two blows during the tour but we couldn't see the animal making the blows. We also had at one point a jumping whale/dolphins far away behind us but when we got there nothing could be seen in the high swells. During the tour 3 pods of harbour porpoises passed quickly by, but only a hand full of us managed to get a look at them. Back in harbour we gave out complimentary tickets so the passengers can come back on another whale watching tour with us.

We are sailing out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik on a rather cold day. The wind is coming from the west and there will be movement on the boat due to swells.
