\nThe sea was flat like a mirror when we left the marina this morning, the sun was warming us like in summer time, and out there were lots of common dolphins<\/a>, bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, a loggerhead turtle<\/a> and Portuguese man-o-war<\/a>. In the afternoon we resighted the bottlenose dolphins, and also we encountered a fin whale<\/a>. As well as the adult fin whale we encountered we also spotted the blows of a mother and calf nearby and our onshore lookout<\/a> reported a total of 5 whales in the area. It was a nice way to celebrate “World Wildlife Day”. Now spring is here and so the baleen whale season, which means the three largest animals in the world started migrating past the Azores. We are looking forward a great spring!<\/div>\n
