This hot calm summer morning started off with calm sperm whales. We had a group of sperm whales consisting of about 10 individuals that had some calves and juveniles. They were resting in the glassy water which was a beautiful sight.
Next, we headed off to some Atlantic spotted dolphins. Here, we were even able to see them underwater through the surface because of the clear glassy water.
The spotted dolphins had some calves and juveniles as well.

A few of our other boats also saw some curious bottlenose dolphins!
The afternoon was also great, a bit more wind and swell but still smooth conditions. We found again a sperm whale which finally fluked after a shallow dive.
Then we went to see the bottlenose dolphins and they were bow-riding as long as they could and whistling all the time. When one was taking the position of another we could see open mouths threatening. This time they weren’t biting but they were covered in teeth marks from former fights. We could watch them so well as if they were no water around them.
When the sea is so calm it is always a special experience.
