Finally, after some rainy days, the sun came out and we could go to the ocean! And with the sun came the animals. We started with a very active group of bottlenose dolphins. They were playing with our boats, bowriding, and jumping.
After some minutes with them, we had the information from our lookout that we should start moving East if we wanted to see bigger animals. So we started going, and after 40 minutes travelling, we had a surprise: 2 fin whales, the first ones of this season! They were doing dives of around 10 minutes, and blowing just 3 or 4 times, but they delighted us with their huge size. Fin whales are the second largest animal of the world, reaching around 28 meters. Those ones may have been around 20 meters long.
