Today both boats went out for an afternoon trip. Weather conditions were very favourable and our spotter, Silviano, already had a bearing for us as we left the marina. Around 3nm off the coast we saw around 30 Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) and a smaller group of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).
