\nWe started our morning early with a mixed group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and false killer whales<\/a>, but the bottlenose dolphins<\/a> soon separated from the false killer whales<\/a>. We stayed with the false killer whlaes, them enjoying their playful behaviour – jumping, bowriding, wakeriding and surrounding our boats. They might look like whales but they are dolphins and they behave like dolphins. This same group of false killer whales<\/a> have been sighted here in S\u00e3o Miguel 2 times before – last time was in June 2013<\/a>. We also met a fin whale<\/a> today. It was surfacing high out of the water, giving us a great view of its head. Sometimes words feels pointless when we have a great day at sea, and the photos will tell the rest.<\/div>\n
