近80岁老人2次单人驾驶游艇环游世界成功An old mans second successful global voyage为了改写自己创下的最高龄单人驾驶游艇环游世界一周的记录，3年前从横滨港出发的日本人斋藤实，17日结束了长达53000公里的航海，安全地回到了横滨港，结束了他人生的第8次环球航行。An 77-year-old Japanese has renewed his record by sailing across the world and returning safely to the place where he started his voyage -The port of Yokohama. 现年77岁的斋藤实曾在71岁时成功地创下最高龄单独驾驶游艇环游世界一周的记录，并于3年后74岁时再次踏上环游世界的旅途，而且选择了逆海流和风向前进的西行路线。Saito had once created a record of single voyage cross the world at the age of 71. Three years later Saito once again started the journey to renew his record.2009年9月，斋藤驾驶“酒吞童子”号从横滨出发的，经过非洲的好望角和南美大陆。斋藤在旅途中曾在智利海域遭遇风暴袭击，并在智利和夏威夷靠岸修理游艇，因此整个旅行长达3年，远远超出了当初预定的10个月。September 2009, Saito started his voyage from the port of Yokohama and passed by the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and South America. Saitos boat was attacked by storm in Chile, so he must stop and have the boat repaired, therefore, the whole trip lasted 3 years, way more than what it was planned originally.结束旅行的斋藤表示：“虽然游艇曾被冲坏，但无论遇到任何大风和大浪，我都会振作起来，以绝对要活着回来的坚强意志，日夜兼程、废寝忘食地努力完成了旅行。连77岁的人想做都能做到，因此，我希望日本也能大家齐心协力地战胜地震灾害。”Saito extended his perspective on the global voyage, even though the boat was once crashed and suffered from storms and waves, never would I give up. I kept telling myself that I had to come back alive and finish the global voyage. I hope pople could look at me as an example and have confidence about themselves. And hopefully all the Japanese can put
