We went to one area to try to see one but we only got to see the blow and nothing more. Our <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/vigias-onshore-lookouts.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lookout<\/a> saw a few more blows to far out for us to go there. But, we had some wonderful time with dolphins. We started with a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphin<\/a> juveniles. We looked around to try to spot the adults but they were not in the same area. We spent some time with <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>&nbsp;as well that had some new born babies playing and jumping around. Among the common dolphins we also spotted a <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/06\/caretta-caretta-loggerhead-turtle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">loggerhead turtle<\/a>. On our way back we came across the bottlenose dolphins again and this time the juveniles and adults were together. The adults were busy making babies so we got to see some physical activity on the surface. Even though we did not see the whale very well we had a busy morning full of species and sightings &#8211; in other words: a morning well spent.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:
