We started with a calm, spread out group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>, that had one individual without the yellow color on the sides. And later we spend time with a large group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, about 70-90 dolphins, all around our b boat, jumping, bowriding, swimming right next to us sticking their heads out of the water and looking at us. We recognized this group, &nbsp;we know some of the individuals very well from many years back (see photos below). A day like this we don&#8217;t want to leave the ocean and go back&nbsp;to land, we just want to stay forever out their. The dolphins were racing us as we were leaving, making fantastic jumping close to us, we go a bit splashed by them.
