As the tour developed it was getting more fresh and the sea reflected that change. We experienced some short and unpleasant waves and in these conditions it is always more difficult to find whales. What we did see was a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> spread out over a large area and a nice group of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/rissos-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Risso&#8217;s dolphins<\/a> around some fishing boats.
