Remarks
This afternoon we went whalewatching with Espaco Talassa from the Isle Pico at the Azores.
After a briefing we left Lajes do Pico at 15.00 hours. The zodiac was led by "lookouts" from the island. The lookouts looked over the ocean for spermwhales during the whaling period. Now they are doing the same thing but instead of whalingboats they are leading now whalewatch boats.
The ocean was pretty rough so it was hard to find any dolphins. After a search of 1,5 hour we saw a small group of Risso's dolphins.
