THE EAGERLY AWAITED ONE
15:15 this afternoon, captain Hlynur and I went north and bumped into an amazing group of white-beaked dolphins. We sailed with them, some were jumping high while others were riding our bow waves. First one couple, and when they got bored another pair replaced them. We kept on like that for a long time, able to watch every movement of those fantastic animals. Nature came to us and everyone onboard was amazed!
When we left the pod of dolphins Hlynur said “if we only get a minke now, then the trip will be ultimate”. We joked about not going home until we had found a minke and I have seldom searched so intense for whales as then...
We sailed for a long time and were just about to give up hope about finding that minke we had talked about when it appeared not more than five metres away from us! My heart was beating so fast – it was so funny – the trip WAS ultimate!
