点评:We went sailing with Sailing Aitutaki on 2 November 2024. Captain Ted picked us up from the cruise ship tender wharf. Ted took us on an over the top of the island back roads tour. We got to see the volcanic crater that originally formed the island and had a spectacular view of the island, the lagoon and the surrounding motu. At the boat launch site we were introduced to Co-Captain Kenny, who with Captain Ted would sail us across the lagoon. As soon as Ted and Kenny had the Hobie Cat loaded up we set sail south across the lagoon, our destination, One Foot Island.
I love sailing and it was a wonderful experience. Many passengers from our cruise ship went on lagoon excursions in large motorized boats, but we were the only ones sailing! The wind was perfect, the sun was shining and the water was clear and sparkling.
At our destination, One Foot Island, we had plenty of time to explore and walk completely around the island. We also had time for swimming and snorkeling. We also got our passports stamped with the One-Foot Island “Passport” stamp and buy some postcards and mail them off from the One Foot Island post office.
We then sailed to a neighboring island. There under the coconut palms and mangrove trees was a picnic table set just in the shade above the beach. There Ted and Kenny served us a delicious picnic lunch. Chicken salad sandwiches, watermelon, pineapple, sweet baby bananas, papaya and mangos. It was a tropical feast!
Sadly we had to return to our ship. The sail back was as beautiful as the sail out. The entire experience was a one that I will remember forever!
We inquired about the beautiful “Sailing Aitutaki” shirts Ted and Kenny were wearing and found out that they were for sale. When we got back to the launch site at the beach Ted drove us to his home and got us the shirts we wanted. Even tried them on and had Ted take photos.
What a wonderful experience! Would do it again with Sailing Aitutaki.

翻译:2024 年 11 月 2 日,我们参加了 Sailing Aitutaki 帆船之旅。船长 Ted 在游轮码头接我们。Ted 带我们进行了一次岛屿小路之旅。我们看到了最初形成岛屿的火山口,并欣赏到了岛屿、泻湖和周围小岛的壮丽景色。在船下水处,我们认识了副船长 Kenny,他将和船长 Ted 一起带我们穿过泻湖。Ted 和 Kenny 装好 Hobie Cat 后,我们立即向南航行穿过泻湖,到达目的地 One Foot 岛。
我喜欢航海,这是一次美妙的体验。我们游轮上的许多乘客都乘坐大型机动船游览泻湖,但我们是唯一航行的人!风很完美,阳光灿烂,水清澈而闪闪发光。
在我们的目的地 One Foot 岛,我们有充足的时间探索和绕岛行走。我们还有时间游泳和浮潜。我们还在我们的护照上盖上了 One-Foot Island “护照” 章,买了一些明信片,从 One Foot Island 邮局寄出。
然后我们航行到附近的一个岛屿。那里的椰子树和红树林下有一张野餐桌,就在海滩上方的树荫下。Ted 和 Kenny 在那里为我们准备了美味的野餐午餐。鸡肉沙拉三明治、西瓜、菠萝、小香蕉、木瓜和芒果。这是一场热带盛宴!
可惜我们不得不回到船上。回程的航行和出航一样美丽。整个经历是我永远难忘的!
我们询问了 Ted 和 Kenny 穿的漂亮的“Sailing Aitutaki”衬衫,发现它们正在出售。当我们回到海滩的下水点时,Ted 开车送我们到他家,给我们买了我们想要的衬衫。甚至试穿了它们,并让 Ted 拍照。
多么美妙的经历!会再次与 Sailing Aitutaki 一起旅行。
