点评:Boarding the Thunder 1 as a completely amateur fisher (among company with much more experience), I was going in outside of my comfort zone but any hesitation or nerves were immediately alleviated with the support for Deb and Doug’s expertise and caring. We spent our days fishing for salmon, halibut, and cod against a backdrop of stunning coastal scenery. Deb and Doug made sure each of us felt comfortable with the gear and confident on the water, no matter our skill level. Their long experience in this business is clear - not just in how smoothly everything runs, but in how much they care about sharing their knowledge and stories from the area, the Pacific, and the varieties of fish we were bringing in.
The meals were unforgettable. Deb’s cooking was a highlight, with incredible baking and using fresh-caught seafood from traps we set, like crab and spot prawns, turned each meal into something we can never replicate. Sitting down together for a fresh seafood chowder or spot prawn boil after a day on the water felt like the best treat.
The Thunder 1 itself is beautifully crafted and full of character - you don’t often get the chance to stay on a wooden boat like this. Living on board was an adventure in its own right, with the unexpected luxury of a hot shower after a long day at sea feeling absolutely life-giving, especially after some epic fish battles and competing against nosy sea lions for the fish on your line.
What made the trip most memorable was Deb and Doug themselves. Their warmth, expertise, and genuine hospitality created an experience that felt both adventurous and personal. It’s a lot easier to feel great about trip knowing it’s genuine, good humans you’re sharing space with.
Coming home with lots of high quality fish is the icing on the cake - I would recommend the Thunder 1 without hesitation; no matter your level of experience, the memories you make will be long-lasting.
翻译:作为一名完全业余的垂钓爱好者(在经验丰富的同行中),登上“雷霆一号”时,我感觉自己仿佛置身于舒适区之外,但Deb和Doug的专业技能和关怀让我所有的犹豫和紧张都烟消云散。我们花了几天时间在迷人的海岸风光中钓鲑鱼、大比目鱼和鳕鱼。Deb和Doug确保我们每个人都熟悉渔具,无论技术水平如何,都能自信地在水上活动。他们在这个行业的丰富经验显而易见——不仅体现在一切运行的顺畅,还体现在他们多么乐于分享他们对当地、太平洋以及我们捕捞的各种鱼类的了解和故事。
餐食令人难忘。Deb的厨艺是一大亮点,她烘焙得令人惊叹,并使用我们设置的捕捞笼中捕捞的新鲜海鲜,例如螃蟹和斑点虾,让每一顿饭都成为我们无法复制的美味。在海上航行了一天后,一起享用一顿新鲜的海鲜杂烩汤或煮斑点虾,感觉就像是最好的享受。
Thunder 1 本身做工精美,个性十足——你很少有机会住在这样的木船上。在船上生活本身就是一次冒险,在漫长的海上航行一天后,意外地享受到热水淋浴的舒适,感觉绝对焕然一新,尤其是在经历了几场史诗般的鱼战,与爱管闲事的海狮争夺鱼线之后。
最难忘的是 Deb 和 Doug 本人。他们的热情、专业和真诚的款待,创造了一次既充满冒险又充满个人色彩的体验。知道与真诚善良的人类共享空间,更容易让你对旅行感到满意。
满载着大量优质鱼群回家更是锦上添花——我毫不犹豫地推荐 Thunder 1;无论你的经验水平如何,你都会留下难忘的回忆。
