We sailed out with no wind again, luckily smooth seas. However, we had to sail out all the way to Grenivík to spot our first humpback whale. It was the humpback called "Cascade", whom we had regularly encountered last month. The whale seemed to be travelling, moving far under the water and surfacing short periods of time. Luckily after "Cascade", we were able to spot a group of three beautiful humpbacks. One of these whales we call "Pepper", but the other two appear to be new humpbacks in our catalogue! What a great news. Moreover, on our way back we got a bit of a surprise when we encountered another species of cetacean, a minke whale.
