Young sailors make waves in Hainan

On the day they crossed the Qiongzhou Strait, the wind force was light, the wind direction was northeast and the maximum speed of the ocean current was 1.3 knots per hour (2.4 kilometers per hour) from east to west. Starting from the tail corner of Xuwen county in Guangdong province, they overcame the long distance and stormy waves, demonstrating almost perfect technique and an indestructible team spirit. In the end, it took Yang and Bao 4 hours 20 minutes and 25 seconds to successfully kayak across the strait and arrive at the designated landing place of Xixiu Beach, where the Haikou National Sailing and Windsurfing Training Base is located.
