点评:We spent a wonderful morning sailing the northern coast of Sicily on an Oceanic 34 sail boat with Giovanni as our skipper. Although the boat could accommodate nine guests, we were lucky enough to be the only four guests.
Detailed instructions were provided the day before regarding the meeting point which was about a 30 minute walk from our rental.
We own a sail boat so if we can, we try to include a sailing excursion on most of our trips. Confident that my husband could handle the boat, Giovanni handed him the wheel. My husband could not stop grinning. Giovanni provided a commentary of the sights and although his English was very good, his French was excellent. Given that we were all bilingual, we communicated mostly in French.
Midway thru our sail, Giovanni anchored and set up a simple lunch, washed down with a bottle of local white wine.
The day was perfect for sailing, just enough wind to keep us sailing at a nice clip without any huge wave action. It was interesting to view Ortigia from a different vantage point, the sea, and admire the impressive Maniace fortress. We also sailed by the Plemmirio marine protected area.
Overall, our experience was excellent and memorable. Months later, we are still talking about it.
翻译:我们度过了一个美好的早晨,乘坐一艘 Oceanic 34 帆船航行于西西里岛北部海岸,船长是 Giovanni。虽然这艘船可以容纳 9 名客人,但我们很幸运,只有 4 名客人。
前一天提供了有关集合地点的详细说明,该地点距离我们的租赁地约 30 分钟步行路程。
我们有一艘帆船,因此如果可以,我们会尝试在大多数旅行中安排一次航海游览。Giovanni 相信我的丈夫可以驾驭这艘船,于是把方向盘交给了他。我丈夫笑个不停。Giovanni 提供了景点评论,虽然他的英语很好,但他的法语很棒。鉴于我们都是双语者,我们主要用法语交流。
航行到一半时,Giovanni 停泊并准备了一顿简单的午餐,配上一瓶当地白葡萄酒。
这天非常适合航行,风力刚好足以让我们以良好的速度航行,没有任何巨大的波浪。从不同的有利位置(大海)观看奥提伽岛并欣赏令人印象深刻的马尼亚切堡垒很有趣。我们还乘船经过了 Plemmirio 海洋保护区。
总的来说,我们的体验非常棒,令人难忘。几个月后,我们仍在谈论它。
