During both our morning and afternoon tours we saw &#8220;Mr Liable&#8221;, a large male <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\">sperm whale<\/a> that is well known to us, and groups of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\">common dolphins<\/a>. It was another beautiful summers day so we had good sea conditions and a nice clear blue sky. Our afternoon tour departed later than usual, so we got to see the dolphins in really nice afternoon light conditions and then had the bonus of seeing the sunset while the dolphins were still around us.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>See a video of the common dolphin in the morning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NbWokNDmDqI&amp;feature=youtu.be\">here<\/a>.<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<p>\n<b><span style=\"color: #4c1130;\">Photos from the morning:<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<b><span style=\"color: #4c1130;\"><br \/><\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
