These are the best days to be out on the ocean, as the water is like a mirror and its great for seeing the animals. On this nice day we had <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sperm whales<\/a> to the east, so we got to see them during both our tours today. We could see several different whales, including calves that were coming and going to the surface. In the afternoon we could even see 3 different tails! As for dolphins, we encountered <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> in the morning and <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/atlantic-spotted-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> in the afternoon. To top it off, we watched a nice <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/06\/caretta-caretta-loggerhead-turtle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">loggerhead turtle<\/a> in the afternoon before returning to the sunset in Ponta Delgada to end the day well.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos of the sperm whales from today:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0155-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"426\" data-original-width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0155-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0169-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"426\" data-original-width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0169-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0184-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"426\" data-original-width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0184-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0194-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"425\" data-original-width=\"640\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0194-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0196-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"426\" data-original-width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0196-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today was a very calm day, bringing us back to the summer.
