4th generation of North-Sailing men


Yesterday the 7 months old Hilmar Sær went on his first whale watching tour. Hilmar Sær is the 4th generation of the North-Sailing men and an upcoming sailor. His middle name literally means "ocean".

His great grandfather is Sigurbjörn Sörensen- or Bjössi Sör- which the boat Hilmar Sær went on whale watching is named after. Hilmar´s grandfather is Hörður, one of the founders and owners of North-Sailing. Hilmar´s father is Heimir- also one of North-Sailing´s owners and the captain of yesterdays tour.

Hilmar Sær seemed to enjoy the tour and the magnificent show of 6 Humpbacks, 2 Blue whales, a Fin whale and some dolphins. The sea itself however seemed to interest the little guy the most- that and grabbing the steering wheel!
