\nToday, in S\u00e3o Miguel Island we had a lot of wind and waves, but we all enjoyed the ride out on the ocean to see common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBoth species were a delight to see, as they were leaping out of the waves, playing around our boats and coming to check us out. <\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe are still seeing a lot of baby dolphins too, even now as the summer season as coming to and end.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn Pico Island, it was a windy day too, but we enjoyed the Bottlenose dolphins very active with the waves. We also saw Risso’s dolphins jumping and sperm whales tails. One of the sperm whales had a possible malformation on the caudal peduncle as you can prove by the photo below. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
