What an amazing day full of cetaceans, a very unique Bryde’s whale without dorsal fin, a large family group of sperm whales and common dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins, and a small loggerhead turtle. The wind was calm today and the sun shining giving us a wonderfully blue sea. The Bryde’s whale surprised us with its curious behaviour approaching our boats very close and turning on its side looking at us. Photos from today:
