On July 24, 2010, I was able to leave for my annual two-nights/three days’ summer vacation together with my wife, brothers-in-law, their spouses, and sisters-in-law as usual. After parking my passenger vehicle at the designated parking lot, I went on board a ferry steamer, the Rainbow, accommodating around 320 passengers and connecting Incheon Yeonan Wharf to the island. Actually the island, DaeEjak-do, is a part of Incheon, specifically 'Ejak-ri, Jawol-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon Metropolitan City.' Therefore, Incheon citizens can have the advantage of getting 50 percent discount of passenger fares, 20,000 Korean Won for a round trip for each passenger. To get the discount, you are required to give your resident registration number to the reservation desk or ticketing counter of the ferry boat company, enabling them to verify your Incheon City residency. I picked up boarding passes at the ferry boat counter in time.
The ferry left for the island at 08:40 in the morning on time and the sea was calm and peaceful enough for the passengers to enjoy their voyage. The ferry was running through a broad expanse of water toward the west after departing the mainland. Around 10 o’clock in the morning, about one and half hour since the departure, the ferry went into the dock of the island after a couple of stopovers at 'Seungbong-do' and 'SoEjak-do' Island on its way. After transferring to a light truck at the nearby parking lot, provided by the owner of our reserved pension, we started to move to our final destination ‘Jangkol’, located at 458-1 Ejak-ri, Jawol-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon, near ‘Jakeunpul’ seaside resort.
Shortly after arriving and checking-in at the pension, we moved to the nearby ‘Jakeunpul Seaside Resort’ which was located only one minute walking distance from our pension in swimsuits. The beach was not crowded at all as expected, not similar to those resorts at the mainland, and therefore pretty calm and peaceful enough to relax.
