点评:We had a highly enjoyable afternoon doing the nearly one hour boat trip around Carnlough Bay. The sea was smooth, we felt very safe, the company and our skipper very pleasant. There was variations in natural buoyancy so I remained seated as I have balance issues and knew I wouldn't be able to look up through the hatch as I would not be able to stand. We didn't draw up where we embarked, this is where anyone with my problem needs to take note: the tide was unsuitable for our skipper to bring us in to put down the ramp - we had to climb up the short harbour ladder to get off at another point. Looking at the set-up being presented I was in considerable distress. I knew that I would not get off unscathed. My balance issue prevents me climbing a ladder even one step up and the hand rail was at a fair distance, and my arms are shorter than the average. In the end I threw my bag ashore, and threw myself onto the quayside, as I stepped up, bruising and grazing my right elbow, and having a slight pull to my left thigh muscle as I hit the wall. Everyone including the skipper was very kind in checking on me. It had been an excellent outing, just a quirk of nature that meant the situation turned out this way, but you need to realise that if you embark on a small boat trip that you might not be able to get off the same way! A baby and small child had to come off this way too. I don't consider myself disabled, but I have limitations, and have made my last small boat trip. Am having flashbacks since I got back indoors, still very shaken and a bit sore.
翻译:我们度过了一个非常愉快的下午,在卡恩洛湾周围乘船游览了近一个小时。海面平静,我们感到非常安全,同伴和船长都非常和蔼可亲。由于自然浮力的变化,我一直坐着,因为我有平衡问题,而且我知道我无法站立,无法抬头看舱口。我们没有在登船的地方停船,任何和我一样问题的人都需要注意这一点:潮水不适合我们的船长带我们靠近并放下坡道 - 我们不得不爬上短短的港口梯子才能在另一个地方下船。看着呈现的设置,我非常痛苦。我知道我不会毫发无损地下来。我的平衡问题使我甚至无法爬上梯子一步,扶手离我很远,我的手臂比一般人短。最后,我把包扔到岸上,然后猛地一跃而上,冲向码头。我站起来时,右肘擦伤了,擦伤了皮,左大腿肌肉也轻微地拉伤了,撞到了墙上。包括船长在内的每个人都很友善地关心我。这本来是一次很棒的出游,只是自然规律导致情况变成了这样。但你必须意识到,如果你乘坐的是小船,你可能无法用同样的方式下船!一个婴儿和一个小孩也不得不这样下船。我不认为自己残疾,但我有局限性,而且已经完成了我最后一次小船之旅。自从我回到室内后,我就开始回想起当时的情景,仍然非常震惊,身上还有点酸痛。
