Hello everyone!

After the storm, today we were able to go out today! As soon as we left the marina, we saw the amazing sea that was waiting for us and of we went!

The first encounter was with Common Dolphins. The group was ver quiet at the begnning and very shy. After a while they started to feed and become a little bit more active, we could see some jumps and they got closer to the boat.

Then the lookout spot another animal close to Ponta Delgada, so we left the dolphins and went. When we got there we saw a big Sperm Whale: it was a male! We stayed there for a little while and the he dove!

In the afternoon we also saw Common Dolphins and Striped Dolphins 😀 !
