"Ms. Zhang, the weather is good today. We will definitely be able to take pictures of whales."
There were several young people standing next to Zhang Wenyu, with binoculars hanging around their necks and cameras in their hands. They were looking at the endless sea while speaking.
Zhang Wenyu met these young people after arriving here. They all wanted to go whale watching, but unfortunately they were not lucky enough to take any photos of whales.
It's peak whale watching season, and all the boats for whale watching are fully booked. It will take at least three days to go out again. To avoid affecting their subsequent itinerary, they had no choice but to give up on the whale watching trip.
I thought I would return home disappointed this time, but I didn't expect that the companions I met when I went out to sea these days who also failed to successfully watch whales actually bought a yacht directly because they didn't want to wait.
Based on the principle that a yacht can carry both one person and a group of people, Zhang Wenyu warmly invited them to go out to sea with her on her newly purchased yacht.
The hired sailing team has many years of experience. This time they did not take the same route as the tour company's ship a few days ago, but a route that the team was familiar with.
Not long after I walked out, I saw a group of seagulls circling in the distance.
The old master in the team had previously told us that where seagulls appear, there is a high probability that whales will appear.
The yacht sailed towards the sea where seagulls were swarming. The crowd cheered softly, all excited.
While walking over there, I quickly prepared the filming equipment and looked at the sea area from time to time with a telescope.
Zhang Wenyu set up the filming equipment in front of him and picked up the camera hanging on his chest.
In the camera, white seagulls are flying up and down. Move your eyes downward to the sea below the seagulls.
The sea was calm with slight waves, and the water was so deep that one couldn't see clearly what was happening underneath.
Suddenly, the calm sea surface in the telescope's sight was broken, and a glowing figure suddenly jumped out from the water, following a graceful parabola, and after stunning everyone looking at this place, it sank into the sea again.
Although they were still some distance away from the sea, the people on the yacht all quieted down at the same time, even their breathing was deliberately slowed down, for fear of startling the beautiful creatures under the sea.
There are a few more photos of dolphins in Zhang Wenyu's camera.
The elves in the ocean are swimming towards the distance in groups. From time to time, a few of them jump out of the water, leaving unforgettable memories for everyone playing in the sea.
Just when everyone thought there was only a group of dolphins playing here, a long black object suddenly appeared in a corner of the telescope.
This mysterious object appeared not far from the dolphin group and was also swimming quickly.
Everyone had a guess in their mind, but no one at the scene dared to speak out their guess.
After looking forward to it for so many days, when I finally saw it, I couldn’t believe it.
The accompanying tour guide looked through the telescope for a while and spoke affirmatively to Zhang Wenyu and several other tourists.
"That's the whale's back. We're heading in the direction the whale is swimming. We'll be able to see it soon."
The whale never jumped out of the water as shown in the promotional video, and people could only take pictures of the part of its back that was above the water.
So some people began to ask the tour guide what kind of whale it was. As they got closer and closer to the whale, the tour guide recognized the species of this whale that was reluctant to show up.
"It's a blue whale."
The tour guide pointed at the black figure that could be seen with the naked eye and introduced it.
Although they could only see a small figure, everyone was still very excited. As they got closer, they could see more and more clearly, and the originally black figure turned gray-black.
"Blue whale? It's the largest mammal in the world! And I remember it's an endangered species. I didn't expect that the first whale we encountered would be a blue whale. We are so lucky."
At this moment, everyone forgot the hard work of searching for whales at sea in the past few days, and only felt that they were very lucky at this moment.
I kept clicking the camera, and I was so happy even if I only saw a small glimpse of a whale in the lens.
As the yacht got closer, the black spot in the sight became clearer and clearer.
The dolphins always follow the blue whale, and their cute figures are fully revealed to everyone.
Everyone picked up their cameras, intending to take a close-up photo of the whale.
Perhaps the approach of the yacht made the blue whale feel uneasy, and it suddenly dived and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone raised their heads with a little regret, but they could only accept this reality.
This is the allure of whale watching. Whales are free-living creatures that swim constantly in the ocean. While modern technology and professional research have led to a rough estimate of their movements, there's still no guarantee of seeing them every time you go out to sea. This makes the whale watching experience full of uncertainty, unlike those artificial attractions that are always there waiting for visitors.
Every whale watching trip is different, and every tourist's experience is different. Even those who have seen whales still look forward to the next whale watching trip.
The blue whale dived and its figure could no longer be seen on the sea surface.
Standing on the deck and looking down, through the dark blue sea, you can only see the gray-black figures of a few dolphins under the water.
The tour guide was still comforting everyone, saying that perhaps the blue whale would swim out of the water again after a while.
Everyone also perked up and observed the movements on the sea again.
Suddenly, Yuanbao, who had been lying quietly on the deck, suddenly got up, lowered his body, stared at the front, and let out a low growl from his throat.
Yuanbao's appearance of preparing to attack scared everyone.
Although Yuanbao is only a half-year-old tiger cub, his title as the king of beasts is well-known. At this moment, he suddenly made an attacking gesture, which instantly diluted his original cute image and showed the majesty of the forest overlord.
If Zhang Wenyu hadn't told them that Yuanbao had been raised by her side since childhood and had been well-behaved and obedient along the way, they would have been scared and left the deck long ago.
Before Zhang Wenyu could stop Yuanbao's behavior, Xiaobai's condition became strange.
Xiaobai, who was originally swooping down on the deck to catch seagulls, suddenly paused before Yuanbao could react, his ears instantly pricked up, and he looked around vigilantly. However, at that moment, people's attention was not on Xiaobai, so no one noticed his abnormality.
By the time Yuanbao reacted, Xiaobai had already run to Zhang Wenyu's side, his body pressed tightly against Zhang Wenyu's legs, pushing Zhang Wenyu to the back, his eyes fixed on the calm sea in front of him.
Yuanbao and Xiaobai's unusual behavior made Zhang Wenyu feel a little confused, and the others were so frightened by Yuanbao and Xiaobai's appearance that they dared not speak.
There was silence on the deck, and everyone looked tacitly and curiously at the calm sea in front of the deck that attracted Yuanbao and Xiaobai's attention.
