July 13 and 14 - At Sea

13^th – We are sailing the Denmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland.  The weather is actually very good, not much wind, minimal swells, sunshine…could not be better.  We stopped in the water for a while to watch a couple of fin whales (second largest whale in the world).

Later we saw a pod of pilot whales.  They are a lot smaller and don’t spend a much time on top of the water so they were much more difficult to photograph.  But it was great to get to see them.

14^th – We are still at sea heading to the southern end of Greenland but the weather has definitely changed.  The sea swells are much greater today but not so bad that it is causing significant problems.  The sky is overcast and it is slightly rainy.  Few people went out today.  The whales are out there somewhere but with the waves and white caps it is impossible to see them.
