Today, and for a change, we sailed today on board Konsul. The conditions where even better than yesterday: no wind, clear skies, sun, and just a bit of swell in the outside areas. We headed straight to the East side of the island of Hrísey, once more following the hint that was given to us by other boats. Upon our arrival, we searched for a bit until, finally, we spotted 2 blows quite north. To our surprise it was, indeed, the same couple of individuals that we spotted yesterday. The whales went continuously for short dives, and were popping up almost always on the same spot. Possibly, they were feeding on the area. We got to see a little bit of socialization as well, when one of the whales performed a few subtle peduncle throws. Another great day in the company of our Humpback whales!
