After nearly 138 days of hard sailing, the unpowered sailboat Qingdao, piloted by China professional navigator Guo Chuan, returned to Qingdao at 7: 59 on April 5, becoming the first person in China to sail around the world nonstop, setting a world record for a 40-foot sailboat to sail around the world nonstop.

Guo Chuan, a 48-year-old captain from Qingdao, sailed a sailboat completely driven by natural forces on 20 165438+ 10/8. He set sail from Qingdao, crossed the equator, passed through Cape Horn and Cape of Good Hope, and finally passed through sunda strait, without stopping, backing up or supplying. Before the ship landed, Guo Chuan couldn't restrain his inner excitement, jumped into the water and swam to his family on the shore. He couldn't afford to kneel and burst into tears.

While setting a world record, Guo Chuan also broke the tradition of western routes since the world record. For the first time, the area outside France and Britain was taken as the starting point and end point of unpowered uninterrupted global navigation, which opened up the first "oriental route" for uninterrupted global navigation by one person in the history of world navigation. Guo Chuan's sailboat "Qingdao" also bypassed Cape Horn, which is called "Mount Everest on the Sea". Due to the low temperature and rough sea surface, huge ice cubes often float on the sea surface, and Cape Horn has become a "sea cemetery" for sailors. Being able to successfully bypass Cape Horn is like a mountaineer climbing the summit of Mount Everest. Guo Chuan succeeded again!

While cheering for Guo Chuan, we should learn from his indomitable perseverance and indomitable fighting spirit, and overcome all difficulties on the road to growth. Sail to success!
