Emma spent her 21st birthday at the sea, on the Corsara, looking for cetaceans. And the day did not disappoint the expectations! A sighting of her favourite species fills Emma with joy.
Plenty of sperm whales for Emma, who just arrived in Imperia. Her first opportunistic survey on whale-watching Corsara boat was full of neverending surprises and she is really enthusiastic about that.

16th June seemed to be another day without cetaceans sightings. But my expectation was well-paid when Davide spotted a sperm whale! We waited for it to resurface and followed it for a while.
