The big day is here. I got up early to grab a shower before the thronging masses woke up. Then, around 10:30, I wandered on down to the harbor where the festival is located. Only about 6 blocks, so didn't take long. People were starting to trickle in. The harbor has a bunch of fishing boats all spiffed up for walk throughs. This is industrial fishing, not family fishing businesses. Many of the locales work on ships or in the processing plants.

I woke up at 4:30 and this is what greeted me...an excellent sign for The Big Fish Day!

Rainy day in Dalvik, so headed to the island of Grimsey above the arctic circle. Might see a whale. Won't eat it.

The ferry ride back was amazingly beautiful (and smooth) so I was able to watch the coast of Iceland as we approached.

While I was waiting for the ferry back I found a tiny cafe with very expensive beer. What the heck, a Viking pale ale tasted great!
