In 1996, Subaru sailed alone across the Pacific Ocean. Many other people did this before Subaru, but he was special. At the age of 14, he was the youngest person to sail across the Pacific by himself.
Subaru left Tokyo on July 22, 1996. In the boat, he had food and water for a two-month trip. He also had a radio and other modern machines for sailing.
The beginning of the trip went on very well. Subaru often talked to his parents by radio. He didn’t have any problem with his boat. Then, on August 11, the engine(引擎) in his boat stopped. Suddenly, Subaru was without electricity. This made it difficult to go on with his trip. Then, five days later, his radio stopped. Now he wasn’t able to communicate with anyone else. And he was still 2,770 miles away from San Francisco.
By the end of August, many people believed that Subaru was lost. No one was able to communicate with him by radio. His parents expected him to arrive in San Francisco on September 3, but he didn’t. Then, on September 13, Subaru sailed into San Francisco. After 55 days in his boat, his trip was finally over.
Many people believed that Subaru was too young to sail alone. They said that parents shouldn’t allow children to make such dangerous trips. However, Subaru’s parents said that children should have such interesting experiences.
