Sundays are special! It is a day off, the world turns more slowly and it is time to go in for something nice. But today we had a Saturday with Sunday feelings. Our little summerly Atlantic Spotted dolphins appeared and showed their best side. A huge school surrounded our boat. Lots of animals enjoyed riding in our bow wave and our guest enjoyed to watch them. An amazing spectacle! But today there was also something larger on our agenda. We said “Good bye” to the little dolphins and went out to see some big Sperm whales. Like yesterday we observed a few double spyhops. Like yesterday a third Sperm whale appeared but this time with a tiny little calf. The little whale seems to be still very young. At this point we say: “Congratulation, little whale!” and “Congratulation & Happy Birthday, Claudia!” This was a trip to generate a Sunday emotion. And what you are doing next Saturday in case you are in Madeira?
