Breaching minke in a very shaky bay!

Today I went out two trips, the first one with captain Þórunn (my sister as well :) ) and we saw three humpbacks and one that was lobtailing two, three times! In the end of the tour it was starting to get a bit bumpy on the sea and obvious that the wind was increasing.

 

 In my second trip it sure was getting windy and the visability not very good. After two hours of not seeing anything captain Gylfi saw a breaching minke whale in a distance. When we got close it was still breaching and it was amazingly beautiful to watch! Like always when you've finally got the camera ready it's too late, but I got one at least quite close.
