点评:Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on the water, and maybe anywhere. We set out from Sausalito with Sailing Memo and within minutes the city skyline, Alcatraz, and the Marin Headlands were spread out around us like a postcard. Then we sailed straight out under the Golden Gate Bridge. Looking up at that massive span from the deck of a sailboat, with the Pacific opening up ahead of us, gave me goosebumps. The sea was so calm and quiet it was almost surreal, just the sound of the wind and the water, and all of us grinning like kids.
But what truly made the day was Memo himself. His personality is infectious. He’s warm, funny, endlessly positive, and has a way of making everyone feel like an old friend within minutes. He’s also an incredibly skilled skipper who reads the wind and the group so well that the whole day felt effortless. He let us take the helm, shared stories about the Bay and his racing adventures, and made sure everyone, sailors and first-timers alike, felt like part of the crew. You can tell he loves what he does, and that joy rubs off on everyone aboard.
I’ve done a lot of tours in a lot of places. Nothing comes close to this. If you’re in the Bay Area, do not miss it. Five stars isn’t enough.
翻译:这绝对是我在水上、甚至可以说是此生有过的最棒的体验。我们跟随Sailing Memo从索萨利托出发,几分钟之后,城市的天际线、阿尔卡特拉斯岛以及马林海角便如明信片般展现在我们眼前。随后我们径直驶向金门大桥下方。从帆船的甲板上仰望那座宏大的桥体,眼前则是一望无际的太平洋,这种景象让我激动得起鸡皮疙瘩。海面平静得不可思议,宁静到近乎超现实。只有风声和水声,我们所有人都像孩子般笑个不停。
但真正让这一天变得难忘的,还是Memo本人。他的个性极具感染力:热情、风趣、始终积极乐观,能在短短几分钟内让每个人都感觉像他的老朋友。他也是一位技艺精湛的船长,对风向和船队状况的把握恰到好处,让整个航行过程显得轻松自如。他让我们亲自掌舵,讲述了关于这片海湾以及他赛船经历的种种趣事,还确保每个人都玩得尽兴。无论是经验丰富的水手还是初次体验的人,都感觉自己像是船上团队的一员。从他身上能看出来他热爱自己的工作,而这种快乐也感染了船上的每一个人。
我曾在很多地方参加过不少游览活动,但都没有这次体验出色。如果你在湾区,绝对不容错过。五颗星都不足以形容它的出色之处。
