Although today was a foggy morning, the sea conditions were perfect to go out and enjoy the ocean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after leaving the Ponta Delgada’s harbour we found our first group of common dolphins. This species is resident in our archipelago, which means we can sight them all year round, in different seasons. They were very calm and socializing between them. From our bow, you could even listen to their whistles. Following the advice of our lookouts, we moved to the area where we sighted a humpback whale a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately today we had no luck and after some time searching for the animal we left the area. After that, we headed towards the island and another group of common dolphins appeared, this time bigger than the one before. Lots of seagulls were also around, probably looking for food although we couldn’t see the feeding itself. In this occasion dolphins were more active and also we observed some mating behaviour. Let’s see if tomorrow the sea conditions stay as calm as today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
