点评:I first heard about the "Experience Smith Island" small boat excursion after meeting Capt. Everett at a boat show at Kent Island, MD. It was clear his tour would be much different and more personal than one of those ferry boat rides that take you to Ewell and dump you off for a few hours and then just turn around and come back. I rounded up some friends and booked Capt. Everett's trip and we all so enjoyed it! He and his wife, Carole Ann, both go back several generations on Smith Island, so their knowledge is personal and intimate, and their love of Smith Island is deep. The unique part of this excursion that we really loved was that we were hearing from authentic people with deep historical and first-hand knowledge of Smith Island and seeing all three communities of Smith Island, instead of just the main town. Stopping at all three gives you a better overview of the entirety of Smith Island and also helps you understand the place. Out on the water, we saw Carole Ann's brother actually working his crab boat, then we docked at Capt Everett's father's place for a live crab demonstration, and his mother gave us a Smith Island cake demo in her own kitchen. Doesn't get much more personal than that! We highly recommend this tour. Capt. Everett and Carole Ann are thoughtful, articulate, and in love with Smith Island. This is a fantastic trip.
翻译:我第一次听说“体验史密斯岛”小船之旅是在马里兰州肯特岛的一场船展上遇到埃弗里特船长之后。很明显,他的行程会比那些带你去尤厄尔岛,然后让你在岛上待上几个小时,然后就掉头返回的渡轮之旅截然不同,也更加个性化。我约了几个朋友,预订了埃弗里特船长的行程,我们都非常享受!他和他的妻子卡罗尔·安都是史密斯岛的几代人,所以他们对史密斯岛的了解非常深入,他们对史密斯岛的热爱也非常深厚。这次旅行最让我们喜欢的地方在于,我们聆听了对史密斯岛有着深厚历史和第一手了解的当地人的讲述,并且参观了史密斯岛的三个社区,而不仅仅是主要城镇。在这三个社区都停留,可以让你更好地了解史密斯岛,也有助于你更好地理解这个地方。在水上,我们看到卡罗尔·安的哥哥正在操作他的捕蟹船,然后我们停靠在埃弗雷特船长父亲的家,观看了活体捕蟹演示,他的母亲还在自家厨房里给我们做了史密斯岛蛋糕演示。没有比这更贴心的体验了!我们强烈推荐这次旅行。埃弗雷特船长和卡罗尔·安都很体贴周到,善于表达,而且对史密斯岛非常热爱。这是一次非常棒的旅行。
