点评:With a day to spend in Homer before an evening flight--and because I love kayaking--I decided to sign up for a half-day kayak trip. True North provided boots, rain pants, and dry bags for those who needed them) and those items, as well as all other gear, were in excellent condition. Once we arrived by boat to our starting point, our guide Brian gave a short safety briefing, and then got us into our kayak skirts and into the water. I had never used pogoes (gloves that go over the paddles and keep hands warm and dry) and really appreciated having them.
The actual kayaking time on the 4-hour tour is around 2-2.5 hours. During that time, our guide did a great job pointing out wildlife--a sea otter, various sea birds, and a lucky sighting of a black bear on shore. When we returned to our starting point and beached the kayaks, Brian had hot cocoa and tea for us as we waited for the boat back to Homer. This was a great way to spend my last day in Alaska!
翻译:在搭乘晚班飞机前,我有一天时间待在荷马镇——而且我热爱皮划艇——所以我决定报名参加半日皮划艇之旅。True North公司为有需要的人提供了靴子、雨裤和防水袋,这些物品以及其他所有装备都状态极佳。我们乘船到达出发点后,向导布莱恩做了简短的安全讲解,然后帮我们穿上皮划艇裙,下水。我以前从没用过桨套(一种套在桨上保暖干燥的手套),这次体验真是太棒了。
4小时行程中,实际划船时间大约在2-2.5小时。在这段时间里,向导非常尽职尽责地为我们指出沿途的野生动物——一只海獭、各种海鸟,还有一次幸运地在岸边看到了一只黑熊。当我们返回出发点并将皮划艇靠岸后,布莱恩为我们准备了热可可和茶,让我们在等待返回荷马镇的船时享用。我在阿拉斯加的最后一天就是这样度过的,真是太棒了!
