Whalewatching in Madeira, February 2017

Winter is always more difficult to spot whales or dolphins as the sea is not so calm, visibility is not the best and sometimes trips have to be cancelled or postponed due to bad weather and sea conditions... This year February has been a bit like that, with some rough sea conditions and some rainy days.
