We did have a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> around some fishing boats, they were more interested in the fishing boats then us but full-body jumps out of the water makes it all worth it. Later our lookout spotted <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> (what lovely surprise today), and we went to see them, we had one individuals looking at us by sticking its head out of the water. For the crew, it sure was nice to back on the water after many days on land due to bad weather.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1629-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1629-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1635.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1635.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Great skua<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1642-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1642-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1650-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1650-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1658-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1658-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>B<a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/black-legged-kittiwake-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lack-legged kittiwake<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1669-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1669-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Black-legged kittiwake with a fish<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1682-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1682-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>A bottlenose dolphins diving<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1689-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_1689-1.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Watching <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2013\/07\/whale-watching-and-snorkelling-in.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vila Franca Islet<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we left the marina with the knowledge that our lookout only saw a small group of dolphins,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9177,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3,10,79,123,254],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
