Whale and wave watching

This morning we sailed out into Skálfandi bay in very choppy seas. The conditions were quite rough, but we managed to finally find a humpback whale. We had almost passed it when we saw the spout, but when the wind is blowing this hard, the spout isn’t visible for a very long time because it blows right away. So we were lucky that it surfaced so close to our boat. It was a very nice humpback whale that gave us a very good show, coming really close to the boat and even splashing a little with its fluke. In our second tour we actually found three different humpback whales! So this is a good day so far, despite of the rough conditions 🙂 Now the wind has calmed down and the sea much smoother so I look forward doing my evening tour, maybe we will find some other species… 🙂
