My family and I went to Cilacap, Central Java, last holiday. There we planned to visit Nusakambangan Island. First, we got onto a quite big motor boat and left the port.  While  the  boat  was  cruising  Segara  Anakan  Strait,  suddenly  the  boat’s propeller  got  caught  in  a  fisherman’s  net.  The boat stopped  running  and  was floating away in the middle of the strait. We were very worried because of this. Fortunately, another boat was passing by. Our boat operator threw a rope to that boat. Then it tugged our boat back to the port. We were all very happy when we arrived at the port, especially when we put our feet onto the dry land again.

Although we had a problem with the boat, we did not give up. We still wanted to visit Nusakambangan Island so we decided to go to Teluk Penyu, the beach in Cilacap. We left Teluk Penyu in a fisherman’s boat. It was a much smaller boat than the one we took earlier.

After we arrived at Nusakambangan, we started to walk through the forest. It was not an easy walk because the path was rocky. After almost an hour walk, we finally saw an old fortress. From the top of the fortrees, we could see the open sea. We could also see some big ships coming and going. When the sun had almost set, we walked back to our boat and left Nusakambangan. It was a tiring trip but it was worth doing.

9. The text above is intended to ....
