Both in the morning and the afternoon we managed to find <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sperm whales<\/a> in<br \/>\ncalm water. In the morning they were separated in small groups of mothers<br \/>\nand calves, but several were to be seen in a short period of time coming and going<br \/>\nfor shallow dives.

The common dolphins were showing their nice colourful<br \/>\npattern next to our boats in the afternoon. We could see some leaps in the<br \/>\ndistance of the Atlantic spotted dolphins while making our long way of 20 miles<br \/>\nfrom Ponta Delgada.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span lang=\"pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span lang=\"pt\" style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from today:<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<span lang=\"pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MarianaSilva28129-2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"768\" data-original-width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MarianaSilva28129-2.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Atlantic Spotted Dolphins<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/19893932_10213898372115902_1629798937_o-1024x683.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/19893932_10213898372115902_1629798937_o-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Sperm whale adult and calf<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MarianaSilva28229-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"768\" data-original-width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MarianaSilva28229-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Swimming with common dolphins<\/p>\n<p><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MarianaSilva-2.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"768\" data-original-width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MarianaSilva-2.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Sperm Whale Tale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<span lang=\"pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our lookout was guiding us to an area far away yesterday but it was worth every mile we&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[8,9,201,10,4,238,242,110],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
