Another day on the ocean, another standard mix on the menu. While our fast boat is down due to an engine problem, we are heading out with our traditional boat Ribeira Brava.
And when I say we have a standard mix on the menu is that we have our faithful cetaceans around, accompanying our beautiful boat, the mix is always a good sign. In the morning we had the Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that were just chilling and the beautifully Short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) showing their best body art that is their skin. In the afternoon another showcase of Short-beaked common dolphins playing around made the delight of the big and small ones on board.
