1. TRAVELING IN A SAILBOAT
Love for the nature, the ocean and peace are necessary if you
travel on a sailboat. A sailboat is a boat that uses the wind to
travel over the ocean. You work a lot in the boat. You clean the
boat and cook your food every day, and you check the wind and
the direction of the boat every hour. When you visit an island,
you see a lot of different things, learn new languages, make new
friends. In the boat, you usually have a lot of time to read and
study, because the boat travels very slowly: It travels at
approximately 7 kilometers per hour, if the wind is good.
