\nFinally the Sperm Whales<\/a> came closer, this time we found them 6 nautical miles out of Ponta Delgada and we were able to recognize members from the green group as they showed us their flukes before they went for a deep dive in search of squids. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe observed Dilys twice and also group of 2 with a calf from the distance, then the calf closer and later on the baby together with Sumo Wrestler, another well-known individual<\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOn our way back we found a nice group of Common Dolphins to spend some time with them, while the ones doing swimming with dolphins enjoyed the Atlantic Spotted dolphins<\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we went back to the \u201csperm whale zone\u201d where we found again several individuals like a female with a calf in the distance while we watched a juvenile swimming faster and then showing its fluke and later Dilys again.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAfter a short travel we watched more familiar individuals in a big group of Bottlenose Dolphins, having a look at us from the water perspective. Happy faces all around from pleased people on board to the ones of the dolphins which sure are much happier in the wild.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn Pico Island we had a windy day in the morning. We saw Pilot whales. There where many males in the group. They are quite big, like the one in the photo. After we found a beautiful group of sperm whales.<\/span><\/div>\n
