Rather cloudy morning with northern wind and moderate swell. Temperature-wise, it is very pleasant, not too hot or cold. Seems like the sun is trying to peek out from time to time. Wind speed will lower later this afternoon, but there will still be some breeze farther in the fjord.

We found many different Humpback Whales, and they have all scattered far away from each other. Two close to the Green Buoy, 1 South of Hjalteyri and at least 4 more further North of Hjalteyri. That adds up to 7 different individuals of Humpback Whales. We have been lucky to see a bunch of tails, but some were also a little shy this morning. We were also fortunate with one of the whales as it performed our favourite trick - surface feeding. Spectacular behaviour to witness as the whale lunges with its mouth open out of the water to collect its prey.

We are hoping to see that many whales this afternoon, it looks very promising out there at the moment.
