非常坏的体验,整个船上20个人九个小时就上几条鱼

这个船长歧视中国人,我在船上得了心脏病差点要死了,我没有药要去医院,船长非但不理我还故意挽回去一个小时,而且整个床上20个人就上来几条鱼

A Horrible Trip

I was excited before the trip, but the experience turned out to be very disappointing. The captain took us to an area with almost no fish — after about three hours, four of us only caught four small fish around 30 cm. The boat was extremely unstable and kept shaking so hard that it was almost impossible to fish safely; two of my friends even felt sick and vomited despite taking motion-sickness tablets beforehand. The captain was also quite indifferent and spent most of the time fishing by himself at the front of the boat. Overall, not a trip I would recommend.
