Can you imagine spending nine months with no one except yourself and the occasional dolphin for company?And during that time,only being able to sleep for less than an hour at a time?That is what 16-year-old Mike Perham from England experienced when he embarked on a solo “Round the World” sailing trip last November.
Mike set off from Portsmouth (英国朴茨茅斯),England on November 15,2008.And after sailing almost 30,000 miles,he returned triumphantly on August 29,2009,to become the youngest person ever to accomplish the feat.Of course this trip was a huge adventure for the teen!It was also filled with danger,strong winds,50-foot waves and technical problems which hampered the voyage.
As a student at a sports college in London,Mike had to take time off from his studies in order to make the trip.He started sailing at 7 years old.At age 14,he became the youngest person to sail the Atlantic Ocean* single-handed.His boat,a 50-foot long ocean racer,“Totalmoney.com,” has already proven its worth in all sorts of weather conditions.Mike’s route took him from the vast oceans of the Northern Hemisphere to the freezing temperatures and strong winds of the Southern Hemisphere,a very cold journey.
Just think,day and night,being solely responsible for that boat!I wonder how scared he got.Mike was actually tied onto the boat at all times,to stop from being washed away!
Mike had an iPod and satellite communications to keep in touch with friends and family.Can you believe he even found the time to write a blog?
你能想象得到9个月独自一人偶尔只有海豚陪伴是种什么感觉吗?并且在这种时候,只能睡不到一个小时的觉?这些都是16岁的英国少年Mike Perham去年11月只身踏上环球航行时所经历的.
Mike于2008年11月15日从英国朴茨茅斯港出发.在航行了差不多30000英里之后,他在2009年8月29日凯旋归来,成为了完成环球航行这一壮举的最年轻的人.当然,这次旅行对于这个孩子来说是个很大的挑战!期间有各种各样的危险,强风、50英尺高的巨浪以及技术问题都阻碍着这次旅行.
Mike是英国一个体育学校的学生,他需要从学习时间里腾出时间来完成这次旅行.他自7岁起就开始航海,14岁时成为最年轻的单人横穿大西洋的人.他的船,一艘50英尺长的赛艇“Totalmoney.com”号已经在多种气候条件下证明了其能力.Mike的航线包括北半球的汪洋大海、低温、以及南半球的强风,是一次寒冷刺骨的航行.
想想吧,日以继夜,一人掌舵是什么情景!我不知道他是否惧怕过.他几乎是时刻把自己绑在船上,这样才不会不冲走!
Mike有一个iPod.还有一部卫星电话以保持和朋友、家人的联系.你能想到他甚至抽出了点时间来写博客吗?
