\nToday we had a nice day out on a calm ocean, spent in the company of dolphins. The visibility was too bad for us to spot whales further out, but the dolphins sure gave us great tours throughout the day. Out there we encountered both common dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, two of our resident species. The bottlenose dolphins were very familiar to us, it was the group of “Bubblemaker”, a dolphin we gave this name because of its bubble-blowing behaviour before surfacing. The calm conditions also allowed us to encounter many loggerhead turtles<\/a> throughout the day, and even a leatherback turtle<\/a> during both the first tour and the third tour.<\/div>\n
