\n
\nToday it felt like summer as we had sunshine and dolphins everywhere. We went from group after group after group of both common dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. The dolphins were playful and we had a calm sea so we could see them clearly through the water as them swam on their sides next to us. Its a beautiful experience to get eye contact with a wild dolphin. We also encountered two loggerhead turtles<\/a>, a Northern gannet<\/a>, our skipper spotted a shark<\/a> fin and in the marina we saw the white gulls from yesterday, that is confirmed Glaucous gulls<\/a>. Rare to see in the Azores.<\/div>\n
