On the journey back from our whale watching trip we passed a large number of yachts – I found out later they were part of the ‘AZAB’ which is a race between the UK and the Azores and back again. It happens every four years – some totally unexpected entertainment.

They make quite a show! How many whales did you see?
Just the one. We were going to go out the following day too but decided against it when we saw that the predictions were for just the same whale. As it happens, the boats did see another species but I can’t remember what it was, sorry. We saw a few species of dolphin too.
