●Lone Canadian sailing the globe may be the safest human

On October 27, 2019, Bert TerHart sailed out of Victoria, BC, Canada on his ocean faring sailboat. His goal? To circumnavigate1 the globe non-stop, and without any electronic navigational2 devices. He hopes to become the first North American to ever complete this type of journey using only a sextant3, almanac4, pen, paper, and logbook for navigation. To be successful as the first North American to achieve this goal, nine months worth of food, water and supplies had to be brought on board, including, yes, toilet paper.

Bert has already become, literally, the safest person on the planet, sailing on the sea as planned before the COVID-19 pandemic5 began.

On April 1, Bert was nearing Australia, two-thirds of the way through his journey.

○正独自环球航行的加拿大人可能是最安全的人类

2019年10月27日,伯特·特哈特乘坐他的远洋帆船驶出加拿大的维多利亚。他的目标是在没有任何电子导航设备的情况下,不间断地环球航行。他希望成为第一个只用六分仪、历书、笔、纸和航海日志来完成此类旅程的北美人。要成为第一个成功实现这一目标的北美人,九个月的食物、水和补给必须带上船,对了,还包括卫生纸。

伯特已经成为这个星球上字面意义上最安全的人,他正按远在新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)大流行开始之前就做好的计划在海上航行。

4月1日的时候,伯特正在接近澳大利亚,完成了他三分之二的旅程。
