\n<\/a>What an amazing day full of cetaceans, a very unique Bryde’s whale<\/a> without dorsal fin, a large family group of sperm whales<\/a> and common dolphins<\/a> and Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>, and a small loggerhead turtle<\/a>. The wind was calm today and the sun shining giving us a wonderfully blue sea. The Bryde’s whale<\/a> surprised us with its curious behaviour approaching our boats very close and turning on its side looking at us. Photos from today:<\/div>\n
