So many Minke whales!

Coming out of the harbor, I noticed the weather was incredibly mild in the bay.  It didn't take long until we spotted the first Minke whale.  It seemed to be quite busy feeding, and dove for quite long, so getting a good look at it proved difficult.  All of a sudden, we spotted another Minke and decided to leave the first one.  After that, it was pretty much non-stop.  We spotted Minke whale after Minke whale, leaving me and Captain Óli completely flabbergasted.  Leaving in our wake a trail of Minke whales, we eventually managed to go far enough north to get to the Puffin Island, and there we ran into a pod of White Beaked Dolphins as well!  Deeply satisfied, we headed back to harbor.
