Sea Cruise of Breidafjordur

We took a Sea Cruise today for a few hours. The captain showed us several islands and mentioned historical events concerning the islands. But the really big deal was the sea catch they made from 5-6 minutes of dragging a net. Wow! Look at those sea creatures! That net is loaded!

The map shows the position of where we are staying in Stykkisholmur; the ship is less than a mile from our hotel. The fjord looks kind of like an upside down boot. The fjord is not real deep so dragging the net works real well. The fjord meets the bay and then it is out to the Atlantic Ocean.
