During the voyage, the team members overcame the challenges of high temperature, sun exposure, seasickness, fog, and night sailing, braved the wind and waves, and moved forward courageously. "Seeing the team members on the sea using sails and oars to drive the sailboat forward on the waves, I am really proud of them!" said Zhang Kejia, the instructor and the Navigation Training and Engineering Practice Center.
Team member Su Jingkai said: "Unlike the nervousness and excitement at the start of the voyage, the team members were more calm and confident during the return voyage. Sailing on the sea requires not only courage and insight, but also the comprehensive use of knowledge in navigation, meteorology, fluid mechanics, etc. We all feel that we have gained a lot."
