It seems that Hirotsugu Kimura (木村啓嗣) will be taking on the challenge of sailing solo, non-stop, and unassisted around the world by yacht on Saturday, November 12, 2022.
And amazingly, he is only 23 years old! He appears to be the youngest Japanese person to attempt this.
Completing a trip around the world without stopping at any port and without taking on any food or fuel supplies at all is incredible, isn’t it? Horie-san also returned from his voyage before
We also wrote about this in September ↓
Tomorrow, Kimura-san will set sail at 2:00 p.m.
Here it is on the map ↓
The address is 4-16-1 Nishinomiyahama, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Apparently there is an area along the way with almost no wind, and he said he’ll wait there until a storm comes. It feels kind of like life, doesn’t it?

The challenge toward a new great achievement is finally about to begin. It’s exciting that such an amazing challenge is starting from Nishinomiya. Kimura-san said he’ll be sharing updates throughout the challenge on Instagram!
