点评:We had a wonderful experience on board the barge Hydrogen on Saturday 25th April. The trip was a full day sail and we had an eerily misty departure from Maldon at 7.30 am. By mid morning this led to a brilliant day of sunshine and light wind to allow us to majestically sail the river Blackwater to its mouth and back. The crew took great care of our safety without being over the top and answered all our questions, providing information along the way.
The food and beverages were excellent, well presented and of high quality, the meat being from the local butcher. The bar provided a good selection at reasonable prices.
It was very peaceful and relaxing sitting up on deck as we passed little moorings and larger yacht clubs . Out closer to the sea we spotted a lone seal who had caught a large fish and then three porpoises.
On our way back Paul the captain asked if anyone wished to have a go steering the barge which I couldn’t resist.
We returned to Maldon just after 7.00pm with red faces but great memories.
I would thoroughly recommend this trip. However even on a warm day, do as other reviewers have said, take some warm clothing as it is deceptively cooler out on the river at times.

船上的食物和饮料都非常棒,摆盘精美,品质上乘,肉类均来自当地肉铺。酒吧的酒水种类丰富,价格也十分合理。
我们坐在甲板上,欣赏着沿途的小型泊位和大型游艇俱乐部,感觉非常宁静放松。靠近海边时,我们看到一只孤独的海豹捕获了一条大鱼,随后又看到了三只海豚。
返程途中,船长保罗问是否有人想尝试一下驾驶驳船,我欣然接受了邀请。
我们晚上七点刚过就回到了马尔顿,虽然脸都红了,但留下了美好的回忆。
我强烈推荐这次旅行。不过,即使是在温暖的日子里,也请像其他评论者建议的那样,带上一些保暖衣物,因为河上的温度有时会比想象中低很多。
