Today we had light rain during our tours, however since these wild marine animals are quite used to being wet you can imagine that will not stop them. Our first righting of the day were some very magnificent Northern Gannets gliding around us. But behind them in Rauðavík we found a Humpback whale feeding, and very impressively showing its extended throat grooves. When we had been with this amazing Humpy for some time we started our way back home but just before reaching Hjalteyri a Minkewhale came up to greet us all together with several Harbour porpoises.
In the afternoon we encountered one Minke Whale around the buoy and 2 more north of Hjalteyri. Where we also saw plenty of Harbour poropises and Northern Gannets diving into the water.
