A good whale-day

We went out twice today and the wind was lot calmer than yesterday but still, it was quite windy and the conditions to search for whales were not the best. All the same, we spotted in total 4 species today, although we only managed to see three of them properly. The humpback whales were, like often, the highlight of the day. We saw two humpback whales this morning but in the afternoon we only spotted one of them. In the afternoon we saw a minke whale close to the humpback whale, a few harbour porpoises. Some white beaked dolphins were also spotted but we didn't manage to see them close. 

Following is a picture from the afternoon trip where the humpback whale is diving next to our boat, Náttfari
