\nAfter wind and rain yesterday we found ideal conditions today out on the ocean. In the morning we had the pleasure to meet common dolphins<\/a>, bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. All of them approaching and bow riding. The Atlantic spotted dolphins were in a big groups even speeding up and porpoising, this means many individuals leaping flat completely out of the water at the same time. Making the water look like boiling. In the afternoon we first watched a pod of bottlenose dolphins and then we went further out to look for blows. Finally we found a very calm group of five sperm whales<\/a> from the red group our most familiar residents. Three females and two juveniles were logging while a curious juvenile Sei whale<\/a> checked out the boats and whales in the area. While the interested whale was circling around us we could have a perfect look at it while it was observing us.<\/div>\n
