Today we went to the sea morning and in the afternoon.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">We started the day with an impressive fluke from our favourite sperm whale: Mr Liable! Our timing was perfect to witness this majestic animal going for a deep dive to find something to eat. We then headed south to find a big group of female sperm whales, at least 12 individuals. They were all very calm, resting on the surface. They surfaced several times before we left the area.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/4.png\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"600\" data-original-width=\"900\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/4.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/7.png\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"600\" data-original-width=\"900\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/7.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">On the way back, without expecting it, we found a compact group of common dolphins, swimming fast along with our boat.
