We also had a brief encounter with some bottlenose dolphins in the afternoon, so in the end it was a great day with whales and dolphins for all to see.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3-20.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"609\" data-original-width=\"916\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3-20.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Observing bottlenose dolphins<\/span><\/b><\/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\/06\/4-16.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"773\" data-original-width=\"984\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/4-16.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><b>Sperm whale (Mr. Liable)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today was another gorgeous summer day in S\u00e3o Miguel.
