Report from hafsúlan: Today the wind was coming strongly from west so we decided to go out from Keflavík because then we could sail with the swells and get more compatible journey. We had heard news from local fishermen that more capelin was coming into these areas and because we know that the animals we are trying to find are constantly following fish it made our decision to go there even easier.  The conditions were good for spotting whales, there were some long swells that rocked our boat but they didn’t prevent us from seeing the sea surface very far away. We sailed towards Hafnafjörður where our trip ended without any sightings of cetaceans. Since we did not see any whales or dolphins today complimentary tickets were issued.
