Naomi could not sleep that night. She lay awake thinking about her chance to be the first woman to sail single - handed and nonstop around the world. And in such a wonderful yacht! The most difficult part of the voyage would be Cape Horn. She knew that she had to sail round it no later than March in order to be sure of good weather. So she would have to leave England in early September. She had about a month to prepare the boat — and herself.
那天晚上,娜奥米无法入睡。她躺在床上,想着自己竟然有机会成为第一个单人不间断环球航行的女性,而且是驾着这样一艘了不起的帆船！这次航行最困难的地方是合恩角。娜奥米知道为了确保能在良好天气下航行,她得在3月之前驶过那里。因此,她得在9月初离开英格兰。她有大约一个月的时间来备好船只,还得让自己做好准备。
Saying goodbye to Rob was the worst part. He left two weeks before Naomi because he was sailing in a yacht race. Although they were prepared for it, both of them had tears in their eyes when the moment came to say goodbye. They had been together for only a short time. Naomi also knew that she might never see him again. She was going on an extremely dangerous voyage and she might never return. “I must stop thinking about that,” she told herself. “I have to think about the job ahead.”
最难的是向罗布道别。他比娜奥米早两周离开,因为他要参加帆船比赛。虽然他们早有准备,但说再见时,他们眼中还是饱含泪水。他们只在一起待了很短的一段时间。娜奥米也知道自己也许再也见不到他了。她即将踏上一次极其危险的航程,也许永远都回不来了。“我不能再这么想了,”她告诉自己,“我得想想眼前的工作。”
From now on, Naomi thought only about her preparations for the voyage. She would have to work day and night if she wanted to be ready. All the equipment and sails on the boat had to be checked, and repaired if necessary. As well as the Sailomat, she would need a radio telephone and navigation equipment. Naomi smiled to herself when she thought about navigating. Rob had been a good teacher, but she was still not a very good navigator. She hoped to learn more about it on the voyage.
从现在开始,娜奥米开始一心一意地为航行做准备。如果她想准备周全的话,就得没日没夜地干。船上所有的装备和帆都需要检查并进行必要的维修。除了塞乐马特自动操舵系统外,她还需要一个无线电话和导航设备。想到航海,娜奥米就笑了起来。罗布一直是个出色的老师,但她却还不是一个出色的航海者。她希望在航行中多学点知识。
Then there was the food. Maureen Blyth, Chay’s wife, helped Naomi to get it all ready. They had to prepare each tin of food for the voyage. They had to take off the labels and write the names of the food on the tins in a special pen. This was because the tins could easily become wet during the voyage. And if the labels came off, Naomi would not know what was inside the tins. Maureen spent many hours on this job. Juliet, Naomi’s sister, also helped by carefully packing Naomi’s clothes in plastic bags. Everything on the boat had to be waterproof.
接下来准备食物。切的妻子莫琳·布莱思帮助娜奥米准备所有的食物。她们得准备好航海所需的每一听食物。她们要把罐头上的商标撕下来,再用特殊的笔把食品的名字写上去。这是因为在航海过程中,罐头很容易就被打湿。如果商标脱落,娜奥米就无法知道罐头里面是什么了。莫琳花了大量时间来做这项工作。姐姐朱丽叶则帮助娜奥米仔细地把衣服收到塑料袋里。船上所有的东西都得是防水的。
In the middle of all this preparation, Naomi received some very good news. A newspaper called the *Daily Express* agreed to give some money to Naomi’s round - the - world voyage. The editor of the newspaper wanted Naomi to write some stories about her voyage. He also wanted the yacht to have a different name — *Express Crusader*. Naomi needed the money desperately, as she was beginning to realise what an expensive adventure it was.
在准备过程中,娜奥米收到了一些好消息。一家叫作《每日快报》的报纸同意给娜奥米的环球航行出资。报纸的主编希望娜奥米能写一些有关她航行的故事。他同时还希望帆船有个不同的名字——叫“斗士特快”号。娜奥米急需这笔钱,因为她已经逐渐意识到这是一次多么昂贵的冒险。
