It looks like crossing our fingers worked and we had a break from the bad weather this weekend!

On Saturday the day was perfect to enjoy the company of a group of very calm Sperm whales that were slowly travelling allowing us to see them quite well and also gave us the pleasure to admire their flukes on a famous deep dive 🙂

The weekend also counted with our resident Common dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins, and Risso’s dolphins and with a huge playful group of Atlantic Spotted dolphins!!
