Fin, sei, sperm whales and dolphins

Today in the morning we started going towards an area of sperm whales (the family of Elsemiek and Peregrine) where there also was a fin whales but from our catamaran we found a sei whale so we stopped and watched it before going to the sperm whales. So our zodiac had an encounter with a fin whale, plus the sperm whales, while the catamaran saw a sei whale plus sperm whales, and we ended the tour with common dolphins. In the afternoon we searched a long time for the sperm whales but unfortunately we never found them. Instead we watched a group of bottlenose dolphins playing around and giving us an amazing show with high jumps and tailslapping.
