In the morning, with the zodiacs, we saw our great resident <a href=\"https:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.com\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sperm whale<\/a> &#8230; Mr. Liable and we could find a group of <a href=\"https:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.com\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> with babies. In the afternoon we went further, north coast. We saw a family of at least 12 sperm whales socializing. Before we left, one decided to jump 4 times in the farewell form. Coming to the sea gives us the possibility of having these beautiful surprises. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\">Photos by Mariana Silva<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/4-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"621\" data-original-width=\"869\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/4-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><b>Sperm whale breaching<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/5-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"621\" data-original-width=\"869\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/5-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sperm whale breaching<\/b><\/div>\n<p><b style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;\"><br \/><\/b><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/6-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"621\" data-original-width=\"869\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/6-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sperm whale breaching<\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/7-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"621\" data-original-width=\"869\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/7-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><b>Sperm whale &#8220;Mr. Liable&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">In the catamarans, we had a great day for bottlenose dolphins who were being very social, curious and playful.
