Michael Perham sailed into the record books last month by becoming the youngest person to sail solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The 14-year-old from Great Britain left Gibraltar on November 18 abroad a 28-foot sailboat. He reached the Caribbean island of Antigua on January 3- a 3,500-mile crossing.

“It was a really fantastic trip,” Michael told BBC News. “I enjoyed almost every moment of it.”

Michael started sailing at age 7. He was inspired to cross the Atlantic after reading about Sebastian Clover, the previous record holder. Clover was 15 when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 2003.

The original plan was to complete the journey before Christmas Day. However, problems with navigation equipment forced a detour(迂回)to the Cape Verde islands, extending the trip to six weeks. Michael sailed solo, but he always had someone nearby. His father, Peter, followed two miles behind his boat and kept in regular radio contact with Michael.

Michael brought along his guitar, as well as some of his homework assignments. He also brought a camcorder(便携摄象机)and a journal to keep track of things he saw on his journey. He recorded sighting 20 bottlenose dolphins that followed him, doing tricks and swimming around the front of his sailboat. He also saw a flying fish that actually landed right on his lap!

During his travels, Michael encountered 25-foot waves, gale-force winds, and shark-infested waters. Loneliness got him down at times. He wrote about many of his experiences in his online journal.

After single-handedly sailing across the Atlantic, Michael and his father hopped on a plane to return home to Great Britain.

“Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather”. This statement, often made by Englishmen to describe the special weather conditions of their country, is both revealing and true. It is revealing because in it we see the Englishman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere. Its truth can be proved by any foreigner who stays in the country for longer than a few days.

In no country other than England, it has been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day! Day may break as a warm spring morning; an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may be pouring down. At midday conditions may be really wintry with the temperature down by about eight degrees or more centigrade. And then, in the late afternoon the sky will clear, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer.

In England one can experience almost every kind of weather except the most extreme.(Some foreigners, by the way, seem to have the impression that for ten months of the year the country is covered by a dense blanket of fog; this is not true.)The problem is that we never can be sure when the different types of weather will occur. Not only we get several different sorts of weather in one day, but we may very well get a period of winter in summer and a period of summer in winter.

This uncertainty about the weather has had a definite effect upon the Englishman’s character; it tends to make him careful, for example. The foreigner may laugh when he sees the Englishman walking on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a raincoat or carrying an umbrella, but he may well regret his laughter later in the day! The English weather has also helped to make the Englishman adaptable. It has been said that one of the reasons why the English colonized so much of the world was that, whatever the weather conditions they met abroad, they had already experienced something like them at home!

And, of course, the weather’s being different provides a constant topic of talk. Even the most silent Englishman is always prepared to discuss the weather. And, though he sometimes complains bitterly of it, he would not, even if he could, exchange it for the more predictable climate of other lands.
