North Sailing News

The first trip of the season was today, 30th April and ‘Bjössi Sör’ one of North Sailing’s boats sailed out with 13 excited passengers. The weather was ideal, calm and sunny and the crew, captain Hörður Sigurbjarnarson and guide Nils B. Hailer were delighted to be out on sea again after a whole winter on land.

It´s only two days until North Sailing scheduled whale watching tours start. The first tour will be on the 30th April at 13:30 and throughout May there will be one departure per day at this time.

When thinking back to the summer of 2005, the first thing that springs to mind is the unsettled weather conditions. Northerly winds where dominating which made sea-based activities difficult. In total the weather affected schedule on 28 days during the summer and thereof we had to cancel all trips during 21 days. Due to this, number of passengers was slightly less than the year before, but business and the operation in whole were successful, which was confirmed with a survey done among North-Sailing passengers.
