This morning we went out whale watching on our catamaran and we were very happy to a large male sperm whale. He is one that we know very well, as we have been seeing him regularly here off Sâo Miguel Island since at least 2004. We call him “Mr Liable”, coming from the word reliable, because we can always count on him to show up here and he almost always shows us a great tail. Today he didn’t disappoint us with his beautiful tail, just like yesterday and the two other days we saw him last week. It’s a perfect postcard-moment when we get to see Mr Liable’s tail.
