23.10.2017- Bottlenose inspection
October 30, 2017
Our spotter is ALWAYS performing a sublime job, but today he exceled himself. Our early birds were able to enjoy Bottlenose dolphins, Pilot whales, Striped dolphins, Risso dolphins and Sperm whales! They saw this in only two hours! During the afternoon we had the animals united in our Blue office. Four different species on one spot! Bottlenose dolphins jumped like Atlantic Spotted dolphins toward our boat an suddenly in between the bigger dolphins the small Spotted dolphins appeared while a single Pilot whale crossed our way and swam gen West. A moment later we discovered the spout of a Tropical whale, which popped up very close to the boat escorted by Atlantic Spotted dolphins, which enjoyed riding in the bow of his head. On our way back Pilot whales elated everybody. What a day with subprime sightings, such amazing experience and gifts! Such bliss! In total we had seven different species today! This is RECORD!! Guests wanted to thank for the incredible work of our spotter, and the crew as well!
