Big storms, high waves, technical failures,
loneliness, After battling hard times and danger for over nine months. British
teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail
solo (单独) around the world.
The 17-year-old made the
record after he cleared the Panama Canal ( 巴拿马运河) and
then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.
Mike is only three months
younger than Zac Sunderland. the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the
crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July.
The two youngsters met in
Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions.
Mike insisted they were not rival (竞争对手).
"No. It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the
adventure of a lifetime." he said.
Mike may be young, but he is
no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at age 6 when his
father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. Father and son sailed
separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest
person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even
greater challenge.
On the recent journey. the
scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the
southem Indian Ocean.
"We were picked up by
what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,"
he said.
"It felt like I was
going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought 'Oh no'".
At other times, he had to
dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped
into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives undemeath (在......之下) the boat to cut a rope
away.
Mike said he felt proud that
he made his dream come true. "You've got to have confidence in yourself
that you will make it." he said.
