An 83-year-old Japanese adventurer

across the Pacific, becoming the oldest person to reach the milestone.
一位83歲的日本冒險家成功完成他獨自一人馬不停蹄的跨太平洋之旅後，於週六返家，成為達到此里程碑的最高齡人士。
Kenichi Horie arrived in the Kii Strait
off Japan’s western coast, completing his trans-Pacific voyage in 69 days after
leaving a yacht harbor in San Francisco in March.
3月離開舊金山一處遊艇港以後，堀江謙一用69天完成他的跨太平洋旅程，抵達日本西岸外的紀伊水道。
It was the latest achievement for the
octogenarian adventurer, who in 1962 became the first person in the world to
successfully complete a solo nonstop voyage across the Pacific from Japan to
San Francisco.
這是這名8旬冒險家的最新成就，他在1962年成為成功完成由日本單獨馬不停蹄橫越太平洋前往舊金山之旅的全球第一人。
Horie has also achieved a number of other
long distance solo voyages, including sailing around the world in 1974. His
latest expedition was the first since his 2008 solo non-stop voyage on a wave-powered
boat from Hawaii to the Kii Strait. （AP）
