Impeccable conditions with blue sky, flat seas and sun expected us this morning in the fjord. It was slightly chilly and the wind increased, but the sun stayed for most of the time. At the moment it seems like all the food for the humpbacks has moved more towards the open ocean and with it have the humpbacks. Of course it doesn’t mean that the fjord is empty, however it means that we have less whales than we were spoiled with over the last few months. Still there is plenty of quality time to enjoy with the Eyjafjördur humpbacks like Tattoo, Cascade and Fjall. Maybe they do know us now as well as we know them since all three of them came very close and surfaced many times all around us on every of our tours. Great gentle giants these whales are for sure and we are very grateful we get to enjoy them day, after day, after day…
