And we tried, but this time, we didn&#8217;t succeed. Visibility was not good from land due to the fog, and our lookouts did find some dolphins not far from the coast, but from the boat we didn&#8217;t see them. Sometimes it happens!<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Did you know that the methodology we use nowadays to find the animals comes from the whaling times? Two hundred years ago they worked exactly the same way, with people with binoculars looking from land.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Vigia2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"724\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Vigia2.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Lookout spotting&nbsp;cetaceans with binoculars, just like two centuries ago<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">But, nature and wildlife are unpredictable!&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">We never know what we can find, as whales and dolphins in the Azores are wild and move all the time.

To avoid seasickness, we recommend you always to have breakfast. Yes! Eat something before going out! Your body needs energy, and apples, banana or bread are very good options. Avoid heavy meals, chorizo, orange juice or ananas. Once onboard, we recommend you to stay outside and enjoy the fresh air and the ocean view. We will be always there to help you!<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As for this week the weather forecast is not very promising, we decided to try our luck today&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[170,4,5,28],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Always an educational experience!
