The weather today was idyllic, glassy seas in places with a minor South Easterly wind.

On our morning tour 2 Humpback Whales were found just West of Grenivik. One of which was our current resident black and white fluke ‘Camel’, while the second was a NEW whale! The first new Humpback in 2 months.

In our afternoon tour we struggled to find these whales, sailing to North of Hrisey. However, we were unable to see anything and it wasn’t until our return journey South that we had our first sighting. We found that same Humpback Whale from the morning tour once again by Grenivik, however, behaving in a manor which made it very difficult to spot. The whale first dove for approximately 20 minutes and surfaced some kilometer away from where we last saw it. This behaviour explained why we were unable to initially find it but we did still manage to see the whale several times before.
