Happy Active Traveler | A Yacht Trip on a Rainy Day with an Unexpected Dolphin Encounter

Folks, I booked a sunset cruise on the Gold Coast, thinking it would be a bust because of the rain, but it turned out to be an unexpected surprise, and my luck stat is maxed out! 🌧️ It was drizzling when we boarded, and the sea was shrouded in gloom. I was so disappointed because I was really looking forward to the stunning sunset. But soon after the boat left the harbor, miracles started to happen one after another! First, a gorgeous rainbow appeared in the sky, spanning the sea and the sky like a bridge to a fairy tale world. The raindrops sparkled with colorful light as the sunlight refracted through them. It was breathtakingly beautiful. While I was still immersed in the dreamlike rainbow, the sky was tinged with sunset clouds. The dark clouds failed to block all the light, and the warm orange-red light poured out from the gaps in the clouds, turning the entire sky and sea into a gentle orange hue. The sparkling sea was like it had been sprinkled with gold dust. It was unbelievably romantic! 🐬 Just as I was snapping photos like crazy, a pod of dolphins suddenly leaped out of the water! They frolicked around the boat, their smooth backs shimmering in the sunset. Sometimes they jumped high into the air, and sometimes they quickly dived back into the water, stirring up strings of sparkling water, as if they were cheering for the rare beauty. This boat trip in the rain didn't give me the sunset I had planned for, but I got a rainbow, sunset clouds, and adorable dolphins. The meaning of travel really lies in the unknown. Next time I come to the Gold Coast, I'm going on another boat trip. Who knows, maybe I'll unlock a new and wonderful experience~
