Remarks
This afternoon we went whale-watching from Horta on the isle Faial. On the northside of Faial they sighted spermwhales. The spermwhales where more then an hour away. When we left the shelter of the isles we sailed on a swell of 4 or 5 metres high. It was exciting to look out for the blow. After a search of 20 minutes we saw the whales. It was a group of 2 or 3 adults and one calf. They only made shallow dives this afternoon, so we didn't see the tail.
