The sea was wonderfully smooth today, like a silk scarf wrapped in grey by the clouds, it lay there peacefully. With such marine peacefulness, who would have thought that this was the calm before the storm? Nevertheless, we enjoyed the gentle Atlantic. First a Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) appeared, then our spotter discovered another species of dolphin. Once in the area, we found a Short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis). Our guests also saw a small group of Bottlenose dolphins with four animals. The ocean reflected the sky, which by now had a bit of sun shining through. Our dolphin friends were also clearly visible.
