Remarks
We left at 17.00 hours from Andenes to find a spermwhale. About 7 nautical miles northwest of Andenes, the Norwegian Sea becomes 900 metres deep. That is the place where the spermwhales are.
We saw the first blow when we where 8 miles from Andenes. He was at the surface resting.
A resting period takes about 5 or 6 minutes before he goes deep again. A deep dive takes about 30 minutes at this depth.
