Hey! Come on, come on!
00:15
Calm down, grab the boat, grab it, calm down, grab it, grab it, grab it, don't go up, grab it!
00:22
Yes, I thought I had already eaten and swallowed, but of course, I felt that maybe it was a killer whale,
00:34
we had been talking about killer whales shortly before, so I had that in my head.
00:38
But when I left, I understood that, of course, it was probably out of curiosity that the whale had approached,
00:46
or perhaps to communicate something.
00:49
Calm down, grab it, grab it, grab it, don't go to the shore, calm down, calm down, I'm coming.
01:00
When I turned around, I didn't see Adrián, my partner, my son, I didn't see him, nor did I see the boat,
01:08
so I was surprised, I was worried, and then I saw him coming out to the surface,
01:14
and after him, the boat comes out to the surface, and then I see a part of the body of the whale.
01:21
Hold on to my rope, hold on to my rope, calm down, hold on to my rope, hold on to my rope, back, back, don't touch me, don't touch me,
01:30
that's it, calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down, let's go, let's go.
01:34
And I started to float, there I felt the real fear that something would also happen to my dad,
01:39
that we hadn't arrived on time to the shore, that I would have hypothermia.
