This morning Ribeira Brava sailed on a beautiful sea. Like the last few days, the Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) became the object of admiration of our guests. What could be better than looking from the bow of our traditional fishing boat down into a bright blue sea? What could be better than seeing these beautiful dolphins surfing in the wave of the boat with a lightness and grace. If you look at the photos, what would you say, who is the star and what are the starlets? 😉
Then came the message of a Baleen whale. But, as yesterday, we hardly saw the animals. On the basis of the dorsal fin it could be seen that this was an animal other than yesterday. We were patient and patient, but this whale had a long breath. Only here and there we saw fluke prints could the flukes, which showed us, where the whale was … like traces in the sand.
