Author's comments:
Avistaje de pelágicas, llegando a 27 millas de distancia de la costa. Ocho horas de navegación, 100km de recorrido. Sin lluvia y oleaje muy marcado. Las condiciones climáticas fueron cambiando permanentemente (nublado, sol pleno dificultando la fotografía para quien es aficionado como yo)
