Today was another wonderful blue, calm day on the ocean with dolphins everywhere. We started with common dolphins and in our search for other dolphin species we saw several groups of common dolphins everywhere. Our lookout was guiding us through the dolphins to find Atlantic spotted dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. The spotted dolphins surrounded the boats and raced us as we were leaving them. The bottlenose dolphins were busy with mating, we saw high jumps close to our boats, as the males were showing of there agility and strength. We also saw several loggerhead turtles. In the afternoon we had two zodiacs out on the water – one for swimming with dolphins and the other for whale watching. The swimmers had a great time with common dolphins while the other boat watched the common dolphins and ended with a group of sperm whales. All of our clients were happy to see 7 sperm whales, followed by 3 more after!
