点评:We celebrated our 40th anniversary with a first-ever visit to the San Juans and a first-ever sail. So glad we went with All Aboard! Captain Dave was friendly, hospitable, and really knew what he was doing. We quickly picked up that he cares deeply for his beautiful vintage sailboat, the Peniel and takes care of her. He even has a photo book showing her being built and she really is special. We were seated on deck in super-comfortable bean bags chairs. After a brief introduction to the Peniel (there is an adorable kitchen and tiny flush bathroom downstairs), our fellow passengers, and Naturalist, we motored out of the bay enjoying the smells of the sea and gorgeous scenery. Our Naturalist was awesome! She was constantly alert and actively on the lookout for anything we might find interesting. She chatted to us about the birds we saw, explained the ecology of the kelp beds, and things that makes the San Juans special. She was happy to answer any questions we had and volunteered really great information. We got to see rhino auks that have a luminescent bobble in their head that lights up when they dive (!?!), bald eagle, seals, sea lions, a sea otter, orcas and humpback whales! We just signed up for a sail but they really worked to make sure we saw everything we could. Most of our sail was motor assisted, but we got the full sail tacking experience on our way back to the harbor. The icing on the cake was an amazing actual cake in honor of our sailing companion’s 75th birthday and our anniversary. So thoughtful and unexpected! It was an absolutely full day and an unforgettable experience. We love that Captain will post our trip including a map and photos on his blog and truly appreciate his work to make our sail a good one. We got more than our money’s worth and highly recommend this half-day sail to anyone.
翻译:我们庆祝了结婚40周年,这是我们第一次造访圣胡安群岛,也是我们第一次出海。很高兴我们选择了All Aboard!戴夫船长热情友好,而且非常专业。我们很快就发现他非常关心他那艘漂亮的古董帆船——佩尼尔号,并且悉心照料它。他甚至还收藏了一本相册,记录了这艘船的建造过程,这艘船真的非常特别。我们坐在甲板上超级舒适的豆袋椅上。在简单介绍了佩尼尔号(楼下有一个可爱的厨房和小小的冲水卫生间)、我们的同伴和博物学家之后,我们驶出了海湾,享受着大海的气息和美丽的风景。我们的博物学家太棒了!她时刻保持警惕,积极地寻找任何我们可能感兴趣的事物。她和我们聊起了我们看到的鸟类,讲解了海藻床的生态环境,以及圣胡安群岛的特别之处。她很乐意回答我们的任何问题,并主动提供了非常有用的信息。我们看到了头上有个发光球的犀牛海雀,它们潜水的时候会发光(!?!),还有白头鹰、海豹、海狮、海獭、虎鲸和座头鲸!我们只是报名参加了一次航行,但他们真的尽心尽力确保我们看到了所有能看到的景色。我们的航行大部分是机动的,但在回港的路上,我们体验了完整的逆风航行。锦上添花的是,为了庆祝我们航海同伴的75岁生日和我们的结婚纪念日,他们准备了一个很棒的真正的蛋糕。真是太贴心了,出乎意料!这是绝对充实的一天,也是一次难忘的经历。我们很高兴船长在他的博客上发布了我们的行程,包括地图和照片,并由衷感谢他为使我们的航行成为一次美好的旅程所做的努力。我们得到的回报远远超过了我们花的钱,强烈推荐这个半日游给所有人。
