　　Japanese sailor Minoru Saito jumped out of the old boat quickly,though he was 77 years old.Cheering crowds greeted him.

　　It was in October 2008 that Mr.Saito set off from Yokohama on a trip that he had never thought would be his longest one.He had sailed alone around the world seven times but it was his first time travelling west to east—a challenging route as it goes directly against strong winds and currents(水流),and there is also a risk of crashing into floating icebergs.

　　His 28,500-mile journey ran smoothly until Cape Horn,where 30-foot waves led to great damage to his boat and he was saved by the Chilean Coast Guard.He spent the winter months in a small port,repairing damage to his boat;at the darkest moment of the trip,he was worried he might die from stress and the cold.

　　It was also while in Chile that bad health delayed his trip even further.He narrowly missed disaster when more problems that developed on his boat required him to stop again for repairs.He would otherwise have sailed exactly to the epicenter(震中)of the 2010 Chile earthquake just as it struck.Although damaged by the flowing tsunami(海啸),once again his boat survived and following further repairs,Mr.Saito was back on his way.

　　For repairs he stopped in Hawaii,but was knocked down in the street by a car,resulting in a knee operation in hospital.He was still there on March 11,2011 when his boat survived another tsunami,caused by the Tohoku earthquake in his homeland.And then,he had patiently to wait for a total of five typhoons to pass through the area before being able to sail on to Japan.
