Humpback, minkes and harbour porpoises

Of course we were hoping to see the blue whales again, so we set the course directly north-west when leaving the harbour this morning. But instead of the blue whales, we found the humpback whale again, the same animal that had been breaching for about half an hour yesterday. But today it was more calm and probably feeding in the area. In the same area we also saw a minke whale and when leaving the area, we were heading a bit further south to see if we could find something else there. And yes, we did: We saw two more minke whales, which was a nice sight before setting the course back towards Húsavík. Today the bay was also full of harbour porpoises and during the whole tour we saw several small groups of them, in total we saw probably around 30 of them I would guess.
