The weather today was near perfect with mostly glassy seas and minimal wind. The visibility was okay, however, did fluctuate greatly throughout the day.

On our first tour we sailed to Hjalteryri where we briefly encountered a Humpback Whale. Unfortunately after seeing this whale, ourselves and three other tour operators all failed to see this whale again. A great reminder for the unpredictable ability of the wild environment we sail in. On our second tour we encountered another Humpback Whale, likely the same individual, almost 20 miles from where we saw it on the first tour. We saw this whale by Svalbarðseyri and it was swimming at a speed of roughly 4 mph. It continued to behave like this for the whole tour, rarely fluking with large inter-breath intervals.
