Minke whales, dolphins and active birdlife

It's been going well so far today, with more of the same mild weather as yesterday.  Some of the Minke whales have been around the same area as yesterday, and it didn't take long to find the first one when I went out earlier.

NS-2 Whales, Puffins & Sails

HaukurHave you tried going out on a whale watching trip on a sailing boat ?

North Sailing offers passengers to go out on a whale watching tour on one of our two sailing boats. The Puffin Island is visited and of course the crew puts up the sails with the passengers assistance.
