Then a little girl pointed. We spotted three whales in the distance. Many people used their binoculars. The tall waterspouts from the whales’ blowholes really impressed me. Amazingly, the huge graceful creatures approached our ship. Then they dived. The ocean water covered their shiny bodies. They disappeared. Tears filled my eyes.
