Today was a
\nwindy day. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nA strong breeze from the north was producing a lot of whitetips on
\nthe sea and refreshing the air during our trip. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nWinter feels closer everyday. Even so, t<\/span><\/span>oday we managed to see more than 1000 dolphins in S\u00e3o Miguel island! <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the
\nmorning we were lucky to find 2 different species of dolphins.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nFirst a big
\nbut spread out group of common dolphins <\/a>appeared. Different small separate groups
\nwhere approaching to our boats. We could feel the size of the group although
\nthey never really formed a compact unit. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nAfter some time with them we navigated
\nsouth to find more animals.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThis time,
\na huge group of Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> was waiting for us. We estimated
\nabout 500 individuals in the area and we could see some really impressive
\nbehaviours. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nBig jumps of more than 5 meters, lot of bowriding, foraging and
\nsocializing. We are going to miss this active species of dolphins, soon they’ll
\nleave our waters.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe
\nafternoon trip was quite similar to the morning one. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nNorth wind behind us
\ncreated white caps and little hard sea conditions. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nHundreds of Atlantic spotted
\ndolphins appeared relative close to the shore playing, jumping and socializing
\naround our catamaran 4 Ventos (four winds). <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nOne of the calves was doing
\nsomersaults several times on our front. The group was very active and it was
\npossible to listen their whistles on our bow.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFollowing
\nour windy trip we found a small pod of common dolphins and after some minutes
\nthey disappeared among the waves.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nComing back
\nto Ponta Delgada we saw again the Atlantic spotted dolphin to say goodbye. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nJoin us for an adventure<\/a>!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
