\nPonta Delgada woke up a bit windy and wavy but we are always excited to look for the amazing whales and dolphins. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nOur morning started going directly to the south of S\u00e3o Miguel island. After a while we could manage to find our first species of the day, the <\/span><\/span>Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a><\/span><\/span>. We looked around and then we realized that we were surrounded by dolphins. There were thousands of dolphins foraging accompanied by hundreds of cory’s shearwaters. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIt
\n was a really nice encounter with these playful dolphins. It was not
\neasy to leave the Atlantic spotted dolphins because they were really
\ncurious following us doing bow-riding. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nWe continued our trip because our lookouts saw a blow from a baleen whale.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> The catamaran arrived in the area first and confirmed that it was a <\/span><\/span>Sei whale<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the third-largest animal in the world! The whale was moving really fast but we could see a big part of its body, its dorsal fin and even the baleen plates. It is always wonderful to see these beautiful huge mammals on the sea. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn the afternoon, again the same species. Probably the same group of spotted dolphins that we have seen in the morning and the last few days. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nSei whales were travelling, but at some point, the two of them got closer to us to have a look at our boats. We even saw another blow further, so at least three whales were around! Long day, but well deserved before Lorenzo arrives!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
