Day 3 - 27 June

Since heading north from Bergen we have lost the good weather. Things are pretty quiet as people try to get their sea legs.

There were two whale sightings today when we passed close to a fishing bank – Håkon saw a lone killer whale and the bridge reported the sighting of a sperm whale. We have been told that the chances are pretty good that we will see more whales when we near Jan Mayen.
