I saw this school (?) of what i think is porpoises of the east coast of Norway. Not very exiting pictures, but I assure you it was a fantastic experience. It seemed like there was animals all around the boat and even under the boat at times.
Sorry these video captures isn't the best, but I like the last one with one standing vertical in the water

Went to Ireland last week and forgot to post a picture!
Very lucky with the weather, sunny most days.
On a boat tour of the Blasket Islands. One of the highlights of the trip.
