    This morning we had blue skies and it almost felt like summer. We soon saw a blow of what could have been a minke whale (?), and later we did find a pod of 3 white-beaked dolphins. In the afternoon we unfortunately did not see any marine mammals. Both tours ended up offering complimentary tickets due to the tricky sightings.
