Observing whales is usually a matter of patience but on this tour the whale was very collaborative. It had a steady slow pace and was mainly accompanying us on one side of the boat that we could keep watching in one direction. It was regularly blowing, showing its three ridges on the top of its head when coming to the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"54126\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=54126\" class=\"wp-image-54126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/6-1-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"54128\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=54128\" class=\"wp-image-54128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/7-1-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that it changed its swimming direction slightly that we could get other angles for our Photo ID catalogue.

Generally they headed to the east but every now and then they turned 180\u00b0 around to ride the waves and then to swim against the waves again and to leap over them. In the group we had different sizes from the 4m long ones to the juveniles and calves. Some were making bubble trails before breaking through the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the cetaceans, there was more wildlife around. Some saw the Sicklefin Devil Ray, others the Loggerhead Turtle, the shark fin or the Atlantic Flying Fish. Fortunately our rib was finding a big net which they managed to take out of the water. So one less danger for the marine wildlife to get entangled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"54140\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=54140\" class=\"wp-image-54140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/1-1-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"54142\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=54142\" class=\"wp-image-54142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1.png 900w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2-1-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we went to the east to see a Bryde&#8217;s Whale.
