\n<\/a>Today we have a long species list. We started with common dolphins<\/a> and later on Risso’s dolphins<\/a>, just a few but curious for being Risso’s. Then we took of far to see sperm whales<\/a>. But on the way we saw both loggerhead turtles<\/a> and leatherback turtles<\/a>. And one of our boats also encountered beaked whales<\/a>, a Mesoplodon species<\/a> but we could not identify them as we were to busy watching sperm whales. In the afternoon we resighted the sperm whales<\/a> and had a great time with them. And on the way back we encountered more then 60 Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. And the bottlenose dolphins<\/a> were around too. More species sighted were a ocean sunfish<\/a> and flying fish<\/a>. <\/div>\n
