\nToday, like yesterday we were able to go out only in the afternoon due to weather conditions restricting us in the morning. We had a sunny but slightly windy afternoon, having a fun ride over a choppy ocean full of dolphins. We encountered a nice group of about 50 bottlenose dolphins<\/a> which we spent some time watching and some of us also had the chance to swim with them from our swimming boats. Some of even spotted a large loggerhead turtle<\/a> among these dolphins. Just a bit further out were some common dolphins<\/a>, but we quickly lost sight of them as they didn’t seem to want our boats around. So instead of them we ended up with a group of about 30 Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. The group included many of the smallest dolphins the crew had seen in a long time. Very cute!<\/div>\n
