On the return voyage in the Caribbean, I recorded the beauty I witnessed

Every day brings the same sunshine, but different scenery, Every day unfolds at the same time, but with different content; Making life fuller, with richness doubled. A 10-day Caribbean cruise, stops at 5 islands, a kaleidoscope of colors, a feast for the eyes. The ship has turned back, and the heart races to return home. Yet, I continue to document all the beauty as always. There were terrifying waves⓬, there were skies full of rosy clouds❶❸. A brilliant night sky, the ship bathed in flowing light❷❹❺❻❼. Ears listening to a female singer's performance, eyes watching the graceful ballroom dance❽. The first officer, with superhuman strength, shook a stack of cocktail shakers❾, while the silver-haired crowd quietly gathered to watch and enjoy a free taste of the exquisite cocktails❿. Suddenly, the loudspeaker blared with an 'emergency broadcast' from the cruise, announcing an onboard passenger with a sudden heart attack, urgently needing medical assistance. Shortly after, another 'important notice' sounded: The ship decided to divert, docking at the nearest island to rush the patient to the hospital. Immediately turning on the 'Cruise Information Channel' on the cabin TV, it showed the course deviation and increased speed, nearing full load⓫. I was moved, and I wanted to record this beautiful occurrence as well, so I stayed up all night. Fortunately, the dock of the small island we approached was just below my balcony, hence I witnessed: Relatives onshore, anxious and expectant⓭; The gangway of the port at night, like an outstretched arm of rescue⓮; Dock workers who had been waiting, pulling ropes to secure the ship⓯⓰; Emergency personnel and vehicles bustling back and forth⓱; The ship stabilized, and the screen showed a large arrow pointing to a piece of land⓲(above). In the darkness, I captured the name of the port's customs island with my telephoto lens: Grand Turk (British territory)⓲, while the sound of a helicopter roared in my ears... I prayed. With a heart full of gratitude, everything is beautiful, if life is a journey, gratitude is the most beautiful bloom. Coincidentally, just before arriving at Miami⓴, I saw a rainbow, and outside the balcony, a bird dived into the sea like an arrow and then soared with spread wings, leaving behind a small splash⓳. The 'touch-and-go' of the seabird in front of me felt just like the docking and rescue that had just occurred, that splash bloomed too beautifully.
