Whale Diary

10:00 - We headed out onto a gloomy but lovely and calm bay under dense cloud cover with the wind at out backs. We briefly stopped at Akurey to get a nice close look at the Atlantic puffins before continuing out into the bay in search of cetaceans. Our first sighting was a humpback whale going for several deep but relatively short dives. We got to see the magnificent blow multiple times and even got treated to a fluke dive and a fluke slap! This whale definitely kept us on our toes, reappearing rather far from the spots it dove down in, keeping us guessing about its direction. We decided to continue on and were treated to a lovely sighting of 2 white-beaked dolphins! We got to follow this par for quite a few minutes, their blows uniquely visible in today's conditions. As we were rather far out, we had to start making our way back towards the harbour, keeping a close eye on the many large flocks of seabirds feeding around us, and even got to wave goodbye to the very same humpback we started our tour with! What a lovely day at sea!

14:00 - This afternoon, the weather conditions were very similar. The gloom continued and we had a slight drizzle. On our way into the bay, we stopped by Engey to have a look at one of our local Atlantic puffin colonies. We saw some puffins on the island, on the water and flapping about. We headed farther out, keeping our eyes open in hopes of some cetaceans. Around halfway through the trip, we spotted something in the water, which turned out to be a big piece of white foil. We managed to fish it out of the water, preventing it from causing further harm to marine wildlife as species can mistake marine litter for food items or become entangled. We also admired more bird species as we were out at sea, including the Arctic tern, Northern fulmar and Northern gannet. Sadly, the whales and dolphins from the morning had left the area and despite our best efforts, we were unable to find any whales or dolphins before the end of this trip. We provided our passengers with complimentary tickets, so they can try their luck another time.
