\nOur great dolphin and whale encounters are continuing here in S\u00e3o Miguel, Azores. This morning we resighted the false killer whales<\/a> from yesterday. We had a great encounter from aboard our catamaran. The false killer whales were travelling at speed and sometimes leaping clear of the water, together with their calves. We enjoyed watching them bowriding right in from of our boat for a while. Our two boats went in different directions in the morning and both ended up encountering several different fin whales<\/a> (bringing us to a record of 24 days straight with fin whales!) We also came across a group of common dolphins<\/a> outside of Ponta Delgada.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we encountered another fin whale close to the marina. After some nice sightings of this large whale we tried to go for the false killer whales again, but they were moving too fast away from the island. Nevertheless, we encountered a couple of nice groups of common dolphins and ended the tour with a loggerhead turtle<\/a>. <\/p>\n
