点评:Had a day boat for a friends birthday trip. Boat was faultless, staff very friendly and professional. Very good handover from Adrian with an offer for lifejackets but we had brought our own.
We had a lovely, if hot, run up the Thurne then to Meadow Dyke for Horsey. The staithe was busy but plenty of mooring space available. Highlight of the day was seeing a swallowtail butterfly.
We took a gentle trip back and had time to nip up the Thurne to Martham Ferry which looks great after a restoration some years ago. Then back downriver to base where Robin the owner was waiting to take our lines.
Other wildlife seen included many dragonfly, a heron in flight and several birds of prey, likely Marsh Harriers but hard to say at a distance. Ducks, swans and chick's in abundance!
On the way out we saw Lady Anne, Ross's Wildlife trip boat out of Martham Boats, then again on the way back with a wave from the skipper both times.
Altogether a great day and thanks to Robin and staff at Pheonix.
翻译:我们租了一艘一日游船来庆祝朋友的生日。船只状况极佳,工作人员也热情又专业。阿德里安为我们做了非常细致的船只说明,还主动提供救生衣,不过我们自己带了。
我们沿着瑟恩河航行,随后前往霍西附近的梅多迪克,天气虽热但旅程十分愉快。码头上人不少,不过还是有足够的停泊空间。当天最棒的经历就是看到了一只燕尾蝶。我们缓缓顺流而上,还抽空沿着瑟恩河前往马瑟姆渡口——该渡口在几年前经过修复后显得格外美观。随后我们又顺流而下回到出发点,船主罗宾已在那里等候,准备接过我们的钓线。
我们还看到了诸多野生动物:大量蜻蜓、一只正在飞翔的苍鹭,还有几只猛禽,很可能是沼泽鹞,不过距离较远难以确定。鸭子、天鹅以及幼鸟更是随处可见!
离开时,我们还看到了“Lady Anne”号——那是马瑟姆船务公司运营的观鸟游览船。两次都是这样:出发时如此,返回时船长也挥手道别。
总的来说,这是非常愉快的一天,感谢Robin以及Phoenix的工作人员。
