点评:Incredible experience! A adventure that is simply not to be missed. My adult daughter and I ventured to Skellig Michael aboard Lady Clare. Tough little boat with a great captain and mate. It was a rough ride out, directly into the seas (4-6 feet, maybe higher) - over an hour enroute, not so bad for the return - about 45 minutes and much smoother running with the seas. We both got seasick on the trip out but don’t let that deter you from this unbelievable journey. Once we were on semi-dry rock, we were fine and made the trip up the 618 steps to the monastery with no problems. Eat a light breakfast, bring a backpack with plenty of water, energy food - chocolate, chips (crisps), jerky, etc., maybe a tiny bottle of mouthwash/toothbrush/toothpaste (ahem…) and a light lunch. Eat the energy stuff as soon as you land, save lunch for Christ Saddle half-way up. Definitely bring a good camera but I highly recommend that you stop and anchor yourself before taking pictures on the climb up and especially on the descent. You’ll want both hands free for balance and an occasional stabilizing rock grab. There’s no trash facilities so pack out everything you pack in. Of our twelve boatmates, two got sick (us), one older gentleman didn’t have the stamina to make it to the top and one lady couldn’t quite handle the heights (LOTS of gravity on that little rocky island…). Overall, a spectacular experience! Wonderful and informative professional guides (one at the start of the climb, one on top). Hope for a smooth ride but be prepared for rough seas - it doesn’t take much in a 30-foot boat on the North Atlantic. Either way, it’s worth it to get to this truly magical place.
翻译:难以置信的体验!绝对不能错过的冒险。我已成年的女儿和我乘坐 Lady Clare 号前往斯凯利格·迈克尔岛。船很小,但船长和伙伴都很棒。出海时颠簸不已,直接冲入海中(4-6 英尺,甚至更高)——途中耗时超过一个小时,回程还好——大约 45 分钟,顺着海浪平稳得多。我们俩在出海时都晕船了,但不要因此而放弃这次令人难以置信的旅程。到达半干的岩石后,我们感觉很好,毫无问题地登上了 618 级台阶到达修道院。吃一顿清淡的早餐,带上一个背包,背包里装满水、能量食品——巧克力、薯片(薯片)、牛肉干等,也许还有一小瓶漱口水/牙刷/牙膏(咳咳……)和一顿清淡的午餐。一上岸就吃能量食品,把午餐留到半山腰的 Christ Saddle 吃。一定要带上好相机,但我强烈建议您在爬山和下山时停下来固定好位置,然后再拍照。您需要腾出双手保持平衡,偶尔抓一下岩石以稳定身体。这里没有垃圾处理设施,所以请把所有东西打包带走。我们十二个船友中,有两个生病了(我们),一位年长的绅士没有足够的体力爬到山顶,一位女士无法应付这种高度(那个小岩石岛上的重力很大……)。总的来说,这是一次精彩的体验!专业导游很棒,知识渊博(一个在攀登开始时,一个在山顶)。希望旅途顺利,但要做好面对波涛汹涌的大海的准备——在北大西洋的一艘 30 英尺长的船上不需要太多努力。无论如何,来到这个真正神奇的地方是值得的。
