Difficult conditions

Today was a rather difficult day for whale watching: We had a lot of snow and rain and quite strong northerly winds, meaning that we also got some swell at sea. But despite the bad weather conditions we were of course, like always, optimistic to find some whales. We were searching in a big area…

Winter is back!
