Our <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/vigias-onshore-lookouts.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lookout<\/a> did see a blow from a whale, most likely a <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sei-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sei whale<\/a>, but we never saw any whales even though we had four boats searching for them. We did enjoy the playful dolphins, both species gave us wild shows by making jumps, bowriding and racing our boats. Especially the common dolphins raced us nicely, jumping alongside our catamaran Cetus (giving us some great photos). The bottlenose dolphins were a well-known group that we have seen many times, recognising them right away out on the ocean, as one has a broken fin. In the afternoon we have one more whale watching boat going out and also a swimming with dolphins tour.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #073763;\">Photos from the morning:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
