\nToday was
\nanother fantastic day with a lot of whales and dolphins to see in S\u00e3o Miguel.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the morning we were surrounded by very calm fin whales<\/a> that seemed to be
\nsurfacing in slow motion as they came to breathe near our boats. The whales
\nlooked very relaxed in the calm and flat blue water that reminded us of summer. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe also had a visit from a familiar humpback whale<\/a> today. By photographically
\nidentifying this whale’s tail we could recognise it from the 25th of April as
\nwell as from April 12th and 13th in 2017. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe dolphins were also delightful
\ntoday, especially since they were very curious and we could see them very well
\nin the calm and clear water. We encountered both common dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, so 4 cetacean species in total today.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
