\nToday was an atypical day. We went to the ocean very early because the wind was expected to increase. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nAt the beginning of the trip, we passed near squid fishing boats. Sometimes, near these boats, we can see bottlenose<\/a> or Risso\u2019s dolphins<\/a>. They are very intelligent animals and know that they have an easy meal there ?<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nUnfortunately, we were not lucky, we did not find any dolphins. We called our lookouts for help but they told us that they had a lot of fog in front of them, so the visibility was really poor and could not see the ocean. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe pulled our trump card: the hydrophone! We went Eastwards because the sea was calmer there and we used the hydrophone, trying to hear some of our underwater friends. Unfortunately, they were too quiet or too far away to be heard by our hydrophone. After a lot of miles, we gave up, so we went for a tour along the coast and went to Vila Franca do Campo islet. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nSometimes it happens, the animals are not there to be seen. They are free and we do not have any kind of control over their behavior. It does not happen often, but sometimes it is not possible to observe animals during our tours. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen this happens, we give the opportunity for our guests to have another trip with our company for free. Let’s hope better luck for tomorrow.<\/span><\/div>\n
