点评:Having just returned from our 3rd trip on Northwind, I wonder if I need say more - after all we wouldn’t have returned a 3rd time if the first 2 times hadn’t been amazing..
But no, I need to tell you why we came back.
Looking back to our first trip I recall a little trepidation as the adventure approached. We were about to spend 6 days in close proximity with strangers we had no idea about- what on earth were we facing??
I needn’t have worried, strangers are, after all, friends you haven’t yet met. It became very clear, very quickly that Jon and Jette were past masters at making one feel welcome and we soon felt as if we had known them for ages. As for our fellow guests, we just “clicked “
Northwind is a beautiful yacht , expertly sailed by Jon and Jette, when she isn’t performing magic in the galley. By the end of the first week we were all planning a reunion the following year. Year 2 was as good if not better than the first as we all knew each other that bit better and again by the end of the week we were planning a 3rd trip together!
So here we are at the end of year 3- the San Juans were beautiful of course but what makes the trip special is the people. Jon and Jette are perfect hosts and along with our fellow guests are now friends . Will there be a 4th reunion, I certainly hope so!
翻译:刚刚结束我们第三次乘坐Northwind号的旅程,我有点不知所措——毕竟,如果前两次没有那么精彩,我们也不会第三次再来。
不过,我得告诉你我们为什么会回来。
回想起我们的第一次旅程,随着冒险的临近,我感到一丝忐忑。我们即将与素不相识的陌生人近距离接触六天——我们究竟要面对什么?
我其实不必担心,毕竟陌生人是你尚未谋面的朋友。很快,我们就发现Jon和Jette非常擅长让人感到宾至如归,我们很快就感觉好像认识他们很久了。至于其他客人,我们简直“一拍即合”。Northwind号是一艘漂亮的游艇,当它不在厨房里表演魔术时,Jon和Jette会熟练地驾驶着它。第一周结束后,我们都计划着明年再聚在一起。第二年和第一年一样好,甚至更好,因为我们彼此更加了解,而且到周末的时候,我们又开始计划第三次旅行了!
现在,我们已经是第三年了——圣胡安群岛当然很美,但真正让这次旅行与众不同的是这里的人们。Jon 和 Jette 是完美的主人,他们和其他客人现在都成了朋友。还会有第四次聚会吗?我当然希望如此!
