Only one trip today with Stenella and it was pointing in the weather forecast that a strong wind from South, should be arriving in the afternoon. The sighting of the day were two Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), swimming at a constant speed and heading East, coming up at surface every 10 min approximately. These procedure was evidence that the animals were aware of our presence and despite it, maintained their behaviour. The impressive loud blow that accompanied the sighting, was often the first thing to hear before we actually saw this majestic animals.
