Our dolphin swimmers enjoyed the company of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> who were particularly curious today and approaching the swimmers close in the water. Our catamaran set out to see a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sperm whales<\/a> that our <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/vigias-onshore-lookouts.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lookout <\/a>on land had spotted. We had to wait a bit for them to surface, but we were well rewarded as they eventually came up in a group. At one point we counted 6 whales together, plus another 2 a bit further from our boat. There were probably a total of 10 to 15 whales in the area! We also encountered a nice big group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> throughout the day. Both in the morning and afternoon they were curious and approached our boat to bowride. It feels like summer is just around the corner.<\/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 from today:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Sperm Whales together: <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero2-2.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero2-2.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\/03\/LauraOtero3.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero3.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero-1.png\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero-1.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero4-1.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero4-1.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><b>Bottlenose dolphins:<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero8.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero8.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\/03\/LauraOtero7-1.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero7-1.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\/03\/LauraOtero6-1.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero6-1.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\/03\/LauraOtero5-1.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LauraOtero5-1.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today was another warm day that we made the most of by going out on the ocean, both&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3,10,4,242],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
