\nToday was a fantastic day to be out on the ocean with Futurismo!<\/div>\n
\nWe had some really great sightings during all our tours today. The ocean was calm, the weather was great and the animals showed themselves really well. In the morning we started with sperm whales <\/a>and we could identify some individuals that we know well since at least 2003. We could identify a sperm whale we call “Orca” as well as another we call “Left tip”. We also had a really good encounter with a travelling sei whale<\/a> in the morning, as well as some Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> and a surprise sighting of Risso’s dolphins<\/a> (for those on the catamaran) before returning to the marina. In the afternoon all the sperm whales from the group came together at the surface to socialise and at one point we counted at least 11 whales together! We got to see tails, heads and even open jaws! If that lucky encounter wasn’t enough, the afternoon was completed with bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and Atlantic spotted dolphins.<\/div>\n
