Festival of Tails!

Hello everyone!

Today we started with good weather 🙂 When we arrived to the location we saw a little group of Risso’s Dolphins close to a fisherboat. Then our lookout André, said via radio, that he had sighted some Sperm Whales! Of we went to the whales location. When we arrived, we saw one juvenile and one calf, probably the mother or females were foraging. Then, another sighting! The sea today was full of Sperm Whales, and more…All of them were diving for food and so we could see a lot of tails today!
