Whales!! in Iceland

Day 6 in Iceland - Today we went to Husivak in the north of Iceland to go whale watching.  This had been on both of our lists and we had a glorious day.  The whole day was bright, sunny and warm but not too hot.  The sun is just starting to set now (11:00 p.m.) We chose North Sailing - an original locally own company - our boat was the Gardar - an oak boat built in Denmark in 1964 and designed for Iceland waters. 

Gardar - whale watching boat - the one in the distance

We saw humpback whales and a blue whale - the first one the company had seen this season.  The water was calm and beautiful - perfect watching weather.  I did not get decent photos of the humpback whales but did manage to snap a few of the blue whale.
