\nToday we only had a trip in the morning due to the increased wind making it impossible to navigate by the afternoon. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nBut luckily for us, we sighted three resident species, starting with the <\/span><\/span>common dolphins<\/a><\/span> right out of Ponta Delgada. It was a huge group that got curious towards the boats with some fast and playful swims. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nSoon we left them as our boats were doing swimming with dolphins so they could be more comfortable and our lookouts were sighting some <\/span><\/span>bottlenose dolphins<\/a><\/span> more to the west of Ponta Delgada that were even mixed with a small number of <\/span><\/span>Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a><\/span><\/span> for some time before they split up.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter that our catamaran “called” the dolphins to him and they were bow-riding, jumping and just enjoying our company there! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe wanted to see something more and our team with the help of the hydrophone and the lookouts took us to an area where soon after we arrived a <\/span><\/span>sperm whale<\/span><\/span><\/a> appeared close to the boat just to hyperventilate and rest before quickly going back to the deep to feed.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
