According to Kyodo News, on November 24, local time, the 83-year-old Japanese adventurer Kenichi Horie held a press conference and announced that from March to June 2022, he would challenge to sail alone and cross the Pacific Ocean without a port.
If it can be achieved, he will become the oldest person in the world to complete this challenge.
According to reports, according to the plan of the Japanese adventurer Kenichi Horie, he will set off from San Francisco in the United States, spend about two and a half months across the sea, and finally arrive at the sailing port in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
According to reports, the sailing boat used this time is "Suntory Mermaid 3".
All the food needed will be shipped on board, and he will use solar cells as a living power source for amateur radios, computers, and electric lights.
Horie said that he wanted to continue sailing until he was 100 years old.
He said: "If you overcome the storm and meet the next one, you will understand that you are getting stronger. If you have goals, you can live a fulfilling life." (produced by Le Xiaomin)
