It is part of the game that we go out sometimes and don't see any whales - it is very unlucky in comparison to yesterday but of course this is wildlife and we have no control over what is going to happen out there - today we blame the weather. We started the tour with very difficult sighting conditions, the fog was blocking the view completely and the majority of the time we were struggling with poor visibility around us. We had a call from friends in the Fjord that at least one Humpback whale was seen around Hjalteyri, but unfortunately we were not able to find him. We sailed out all the way to Hrisey and the fog seemed to slowly moving in higher layers of clouds so on the way back we were able to enjoy sailing in the sun surrounded by birds and beautiful winter landscape of Eyafjordur. Unfortunately no cetaceans were found today. At the end of the tour we offered complimentary tickets to all our passangers. Hopefully the fog will be gone by tomorrow!
