RESCUE DRILL (2)
A hard storm is rumbling over Húsavík today and makes it impossible for us to go whale watching (though the forecast for the coming days is better). We used the time and hard weather this morning to practise safety on board Faldur in the outer harbour.
Gentle Giants holds regular rescue drills for its staff, so that we have all the safety routines fresh in mind at all times.

Siggi "rescued" with help from the Björgvinsbelt and a life ring.

New snow on Húsavík mountain. You can see how biting cold it is.
