Fin strike after fin strike
King's Landing的点评
点评：This review covers the shuttle run only, I did not do Emerald Cut. While this was a good experience overall, there were some things I did not like or enjoy and it would have been helpful to know ahead of time.
I would consider myself an intermediate stand up paddle boarder. I go out in the lakes once a week and paddle for an hour or so. Between this experience and 2-3 times per week yoga, my balance is very good. I have never once fallen off my board in the lakes in all the years I have been paddling.
I started in the canal from Kings Landing that leads to either the shuttle run (left) or Emerald Cut (right). Because there is no flow to this water it is brackish and completely opaque. I had been on the SUP for approximately 150 feet and my fin hit a fallen tree that was submerged in the water and I immediately fell in. I banged my shin on said tree as I fell, and then was so stuck in the mud that I nearly lost my water shoes trying to get out. This is the part I hold Kings Landing accountable for. Clean up your canal.
Once I got into the shuttle run, it was beautiful. Clear water, nature, paddling with the current. There was little to not like. Then my fin hit another tree. I stayed upright this time because the water was clear and I could see it coming. Then my fin hit another. And another. And another. Within a mile I decided it would be best to sit down. Once I got to 10 fin strikes before I got to 3 miles I quit counting. In the 9 miles of paddling I had to have hit my fin well over 20 times, probably closer to 30. I was able to stand up for maybe 2 miles of the 9 mile paddle. I cannot hold Kings Landing accountable for this, because it is wild untamed nature. However, had I known, I am not sure I would have chosen a SUP for my vessel of choice. A kayak is a FAR superior choice of vessel for the shuttle run.
During the shuttle run I saw lots of fish, turtles in and out of the water, a few gators also in and out of the water and a good amount of birds. The only thing I hoped to see that I did not were otters. The stopping points were nice, my favorite was the last one. I ate a snack, had a drink and took a break the last one.
Now, back to when I checked in, I was told the shuttle would be a 3:30 departure from Weikva Island, where the paddle ends. This caught me by surprise. I assumed I would call when I was done and they would come to pick me up. I was told there was only one shuttle that day. I asked, "Well, what do I do if I arrive much earlier than that?" I was told I could wait and enjoy the island or call an uber. Since I arrived just before 2pm, I called an Uber, left my board sitting, got back to my car, drove back to pick up my board and was on my way home before the shuttle even arrived at Weikva Island. I would have planned my day / time better had I known this before I arrived that morning.
Overall, this was a fun and a good experience. But I would never again do the shuttle run on a SUP, kayak only. And I would verify the shuttle time before I arrived so I could plan my day better. I will go back another time and explore the Emerald Cut and I do look forward to that, because it does look amazing from what I could see.

翻译：这篇评测仅针对穿梭跑体验，我并没有尝试翡翠切割这个项目。虽然整体体验不错，但有些方面我并不喜欢或不满意，如果能事先了解这些信息就好了。
我觉得自己是一名中级水平的立式桨板运动员。我每周都会去湖上划桨一次，每次大约一小时。除了这项运动，我每周还会练习2到3次瑜伽，因此我的平衡能力相当不错。这些年来，我划桨时从未在湖里从板上摔下来过。
我是从金斯兰丁附近的运河出发的，这条运河可通往“穿梭航道”（左侧）或“翡翠湾”（右侧）。由于这里没有水流，湖水呈微咸状且完全浑浊不透明。我划着桨板前进了约150英尺后，桨板的鳍状装置碰到了水下一根倒下的树干，于是我立刻落水了。坠落时，我的小腿还撞到了那根树干。后来我陷进了泥潭里，为了挣脱出来差点把涉水鞋都弄丢了。这一点我得怪君临城——把运河清理干净吧。
一旦开始乘皮划艇航行，一切就美妙极了：清澈的河水、大自然的景色，顺着水流划行也十分顺畅。几乎没什么可挑剔的。可接着我的脚蹼又碰到了一棵树。这次我保持了平衡，因为水很清澈，我能提前看到障碍物。接着我的脚蹼又撞到一棵树，接着又是一棵，再接着还是一棵。在骑行一英里后，我觉得最好还是坐下来休息一下。在骑行到三英里之前，我的脚蹼总共被水草缠住10次，之后我就不再计数了。在全程9英里的划行中，我的脚蹼至少被水草缠住20多次，很可能接近30次。在这9英里的行程中，我只有大约2英里的时间能够站着划行。虽然我不能因此责怪Kings Landing，毕竟那里是大自然的原始领地；不过，如果事先知道情况如此，我不确定自己还会不会选择桨板作为交通工具。对于这种穿梭游来说，皮划艇绝对是远比其他船只更优的选择。
在穿梭游过程中，我看到了很多鱼、在水里和水边活动的乌龟，还有几条偶尔冒出水面的短吻鳄，以及大量鸟类。唯一我希望见到却没见到的就是水獭。沿途的停靠点都很不错，我最喜欢的是最后一个停靠点。在那里我吃了点零食、喝了饮料，还休息了一会儿。
回到办理登船手续的时候，工作人员告诉我穿梭船将于3点半从韦克瓦岛出发。桨板运动结束的地方。这让我大吃一惊。我原以为自己玩完后打电话，他们就会来接我。但被告知那天只有一班接驳车。我问道：“要是我比预定时间早到很多该怎么办呢？”对方说我可以等着欣赏岛上的风景，或者叫一辆优步。由于我在下午2点前就到了，于是我叫了优步，把桨板留在原地，回到车里，再开车回去取板，结果在接驳车抵达韦克瓦岛之前，我就已经踏上回家的路了。如果那天早上出发前我就知道这些情况，我一定会更好地规划自己的一天。
总的来说，这是一次有趣且不错的体验。不过以后再也不会选择乘着桨板或皮划艇来往返接送了，只坐皮划艇就足够了。我也会在出发前确认好接送时间，以便更好地安排行程。下次我还会再来，去探索“翡翠湾”，我很期待这次的体验，因为从我所看到的情况来看，那里确实美得令人惊叹。
