In the past few weeks we have seen many pods of white-beaked dolphins in the bay. Today they were the stars on our two trips on Sylvía. We encountered large groups of these beautiful dolphins all over the bay.
Yesterday to well-known “faces” crossed our way: Humpbacks can be identified by the white patterns which they have on the underside of the tail. Some of course are more memorable than others.
Today has been fabulous: The sea has been completely flat, the temperature was simply pleasant and the whale status could not have been better. About 5 humpbacks swam in the same area near the mountains.
As the forecast predicted the weather has been constantly getting better. Already yesterday evening the sky cleared up and the sunshine blessed us on the last daily departure. At night some northern lights appeared and today started as sunny as yesterday ended.
Due to bad weather conditions we unfortunately had to cancel all our departures today. Seeing the weather forecast for tomorrow the conditions seem to change and constantly get better throughout the day.
A few hundred thousands of you already left around the 20th of August, but luckily we could enjoy some of you a couple of days longer. Lundey (Puffin Island), your home island is meanwhile empty. We will have to wait for your return until next May.
Yesterday evening we headed out on our RIB Amma Sigga for the „GG2 Big Whale Safari“. After getting the first humpback surfacing right next to the boat in the very beginning we had to wait a little for it to show up again.
Today’s morning started as beautiful as yesterday evening had ended. Sunshine was blessing us and also it was pretty warm again. Weather like this attracts many people to go out at sea for sailing.
Another beautiful day comes to an end. Today’s tours were blessed with sunshine and heat. Most likely it was the warmest day of this year’s summer so far. Even in the evening, when the sun was setting behind the Cheek Mountains, it didn’t really cool down but a warm breeze was there instead.
The first boats this morning had found a humpback whale short after they left. Being on the second oak boat to leave the harbour, we decided to catch up with them to get a look at this whale, too. But short before we reached the area a minke showed up out of the sudden.
