Report from Eldey. The afternoons conditions were just as perfect as the mornings, with the flat sea and sun shining. It only took 30 minutes for the splashing of white-beaked dolphins to be visible in the distance. As we drew closer, birds were

Report from Eldey: The conditions were really nice today when we were sailing out this afternoon with sunshine and only a little, but cold wind. Not even after one hour of sailing we saw a big flock of birds in the distance and when we arrived there, we we

Report from Eldey: It was a fresh and slightly breezy day on heading out into the bay today. The sea wasn´t too choppy and the sky clear. We searched for a long time to find cetaceans but unfortunately, there were none to be found. So our passengers were o

Report from Eldey: Still enjoying this period of excellent sun, we left with joy and confidence, eager to see again the cetaceans from this morning. The usual safety speech was cut short as after 15 min of sailing we came across a pod of white-beak
