Sailing is tough and lonely, especially when thinking of the girlfriend and family onshore; it truly feels like each day is an eternity.
But in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Han Yu has transformed from the green and ignorant trainee he once was to an apprentice chief officer who sails in unlimited navigational zones.
Although only twenty-one years old, his words, actions, and mindset carry the vicissitudes of time.
Sailing is also a courageous career, for only those who have seen the vastness of the sea understand their own insignificance.
In the past seventeen months, Han Yu witnessed a volcanic eruption in the Sunda Strait, encountered a category 14 super typhoon in the depths of the Indian Ocean, and faced 13-meter-high waves in Biscay Bay.
