Today
was amazing out on the ocean. We started with the biggest animal in the world -
a majestic blue whale which we got to see very well. In the afternoon we had two
very special encounters. One with a Minke Whale, it that happens very
infrequently, and a humpback whale that was tail breaching and waving its
pectoral fins out of the water. From our photos we could determine it was a
whale we saw here last year and that was also seen off Iceland in 2016. We also
encountered 3 fin whales in the afternoon and a group of at least 80 bottlenose dolphins throughout the day. The cherry on top today were the loggerhead turtles that we also encountered on this beautiful sunny day.
In Pico
Island we saw four Blue whales and five fin Whale! Thanks Mother Earth 😊
