\nWe started with some sperm whales in the morning. One of the individuals got curious, approaching us till 20 meters! <\/span><\/div>\n

\nIt was time then to try to find the group of sperm whales from the morning, and for that we used our hydrophone. We are already in the area waiting for one come to the surface, but the spotter screamed to go east. “Waiting” for us was the biggest animal on the planet that showed up in a unforgettable way under Pico Mountain. <\/span><\/div>\n

\nOn the way home we passed again on the sperm whale area and we saw a female calf pair. The best way to finish the day.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What an awesome day.
