To whosevers ears this reaches, you have my humblest welcome.

Well, well, well, three wholes in the ground, this was some day. Frankly, I have become over stimulated with these whales. We went out, kept going, further than expected, but, suddenly we hit the jackpot. More Humpback Whales than you can shake a stick at. At least 20 different individuals stretching from the Southern to the Norther tip of Hrisey. One encounter in particular scared the living day lights out of me as it surfaced so close to the RIB you could taste the blow, yum. I very almost fell in the water. We also stumbled across the group of whales we had seen yesterday, however, now was only 4 and by the evening had reduced to 3.

On our afternoon we saw more of the same, it´s a hard life I know. We got a little bit extra this time though as we had a lively boi slapping and throwing like no tomorrow. Tail-lob after tail-lob, tail throw after tail throw. It really was a special moment.
