Lots of people were asking me the same question—How did a 22-year-old woman row(划船)a 19-foot boat for 70 days? Well, when I was on the sea alone, the biggest difficulty was the feeling of being lonely. I started on January 3, 2010.More than half the people who tried sailing alone often gave up in the first two weeks, so I decided to finish one-fourth (四分之一) of the sailing(航行) first, which took about 20 days. Day 20th, January 22 came! I said to myself that I should be happy. But I was feeling so bad. It seemed to be the hardest day for me. I didn ’ t see land for over two wee ks. Every day I did the same—rowing, eating, sleeping, watching the sky an d the ocean... Suddenly I saw something breaking through the water near my boat. They were dolphins . They circled my boat and were close enough for me to touch. So I did! Suddenly I felt so moved, they came to say “Hello”, just when I needed it most. I was no longer lonely, believing that I would succeed. And I made it! All 2,817 miles I got to the coast on March 14,after 70 days and five hours at sea. So the secret of my success is the moment with those dolphins.
