Mike L 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Im on location in the Azores to shoot Sperm Whales for an episode of Monster Quest...and I was told it was ok to post pics, etc from our expedition on the web. So, Ill be updating this daily with some photos and video clips...however I think before I can show anything, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT!! We have been here two days, and the weather is terrible!! 6-8 foot swells, rainy cold weather, and boats and captains that won't go out. The weather calls for more crap tomorrow. I sure hope we can get out to see some large toothed mammals!! Pics and videos to come (I hope). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimonSpear 65 Posted June 9, 2009 Welcome to the North Atlantic! How long do you have there? Look forward to seeing some of the photos and video if you manage to get out. Cheers, Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike L 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Hi Simon, We arrived in Portgual Sunday, then onto Pico yesterday AM. Plan is to be here through the 15th. Our permit allows us to be in the water with the whales until the 14th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drew 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Yes the Atlantic weather has skunked many a production at the Azores. I think you're the 3rd production I've heard that from in the last year! Good luck and clear sunny skies for the next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjpcordeiro 0 Posted June 11, 2009 You should have chosen São Miguel... We have also lots of sperm whales and (in this case) better weather conditions!! I dove in the Faial last week with 15-25 knots of wind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
