点评:We started our evening meeting Michele and Jamie, who escorted us to the 70 ft schooner called Scout. We stowed our overnight bags and were offered beverages and snacks before we shoved off, just before 7:00 p.m.
The weather was perfect! Low 70s partly sunny with a nice breeze. We were quickly sailing Grand Traverse Bay, at a nice clip. At the beginning of the sale, Michelle pulled out a map to show us what our route was likely to be. Both Michele and Jamie we're familiar with all of the sites along the shoreline, and most things in the Grand Traverse area. During the sale, we were able to watch as the tall ship, their other vessel, gracefully glided through the bay, sales billowing gracefully in the wind.
Though it was more cloudy toward sunset, the colors were divine. Michele took photos of us with the sunset in the distance, as well as others during the sail. And to top it off, we saw a glorious rainbow on our way back toward port.
After we docked, Michele and Jamie familiarized us with the boat and departed with good night wishes. We spent an intimate evening on board, which we had stocked with wine and charcuterie selections.
I highly recommend you experience this sailing trip, whether you spend the night on the boat, or not. It's very well worth it and a great value.
I believe the next time we're in Traverse City, we'll take a brunch trip on the tall ship to see if it's as exciting to be on it as it is to view it from a short distance.
翻译:我们开始晚上与 Michele 和 Jamie 会面,他们护送我们登上了一艘名为 Scout 的 70 英尺纵帆船。晚上 7:00 之前,我们寄存了过夜行李,出发前有人给我们提供了饮料和零食。
天气非常好! 70 年代初,部分阳光明媚,微风徐徐。我们正在大特拉弗斯湾快速航行,速度非常快。在销售开始时,米歇尔拿出一张地图向我们展示我们可能的路线。米歇尔和杰米都熟悉海岸线上的所有景点,以及大特拉弗斯地区的大部分景点。在销售过程中,我们能够看到他们的另一艘高大的船优雅地滑过海湾,销售额在风中优雅地翻腾。
虽然日落时分阴云密布,但颜色却很神圣。米歇尔给我们拍了远处日落的照片,也给我们航行期间的其他人拍了照片。最重要的是,我们在返回港口的途中看到了绚丽的彩虹。
靠岸后,米歇尔和杰米让我们熟悉了船,然后带着晚安的祝福离开了。我们在船上度过了一个亲密的夜晚,船上备有精选的葡萄酒和熟食。
我强烈建议您体验这次航海之旅,无论您是否在船上过夜。这是非常值得的,而且物超所值。
我相信下次我们在特拉弗斯城时,我们会在这艘高船上享用早午餐,看看登上它是否和近距离观看它一样令人兴奋。
