Pangaea's construction

Over 22,000 hours of design time and years of experience and marine expertise have come together in the remarkable sailboat Pangaea.
超过两万两千小时的设计并融合多名海洋专家的丰富经验，最终造就泛大陆号。
Pangaea has been specially designed and adapted to integrate the latest sustainable technologies and keeps safety for its crew and passengers a top priority at all times.
泛大陆号从头开始就采用特别设计并综合运用了最新的可持续技术以保证其船员和乘客在各种环境下人身安全为最高宗旨。
Pangaea is built to conform to Mike Horn’s specific requirements and needs, creating an environment where people from all walks of life can meet and share the same passion and objectives. The boat will be used for research, environmental and educational projects at its ports of call around the world. It will be capable of going into difficult territories and will be equipped with the necessary tools to fulfill its mission.
泛大陆号的设计建造遵照了MIKE HORN的特别具体要求和需要，创造一个适于各类人员的环境以满足并分享同样的激情和任务。帆船用于环绕世界各地时候的研究、还有环境和教育等项目的需求。
Pangaea is a 35-metre sailing vessel that sleeps 30 people and features the latest communication technology and conference facilities. It also includes BlueTec engines, solar panels, recyclable aluminum hull and trawling nets for bottles and a number of other ecofriendly sustainable features.
泛大陆号是艘35米长的风帆船舶，可以容纳30人并配备了最新的通讯技术和会议设施。它还装备有"蓝色技术"的发动机 - (注:梅赛德斯-奔驰在1936年生产了第一辆柴油汽车，260D，现在它开发了被称为是蓝色技术（Bluetec）的技术来净化柴油机尾气使其符合2009年适用的欧四排放标准，甚至于满足2015年使用的欧五法规。)、太阳能板、可回收使用的铝制船体，还有用于放置各类瓶子的拖网以及一系列其它的环保可持续技术装备。
As the mission statement of the Pangaea Expedition is to enhance a respect of the environment, the boat had to be built in an environmental friendly way and had to be ready to integrate most of the tools to produce energy with the lowest possible emission and pollution.
正如泛大陆远征的为加强环保所阐述的宗旨一样，泛大陆号的建造也得采用对环境友好的方式，并要整合各种工具设施以最低的可允许的排放和污染提供动力。
The first step was to choose the right material to build the boat. Aluminum was the obvious one. Technically it performs very well in extreme temperatures. It is very light resistant and durable. Furthermore, aluminum is the most recyclable metal. It can be recycled many times without loosing its qualities. Recycling aluminum uses only 5% of the energy required to produce it.

一开始的第一个步骤是为建造这艘船选择材料。铝，显然是一个选择。技术层面上，铝在各种极端的温差下可以保持非常棒的工作状态。铝材非常轻且经久耐用。而且铝是最具循环使用的金属。它可以循环多次使用而不失其特质。循环铝只需用制造它时的5%的能源。
Throughout Mike Horn’s previous expeditions, progress was made through natural means and human power. For this reason his dream was to build a boat that will encompass this philosophy. A sailing vessel whose main motors will be 600 sq metres of sail. As this boat will navigate the Polar Regions, it was necessary to have motors to travel through the sea ice. Engines with low emissions were chosen in order to keep true to the expedition’s philosophy.
纵观MIKE HORN之前的所有远征航行，都是通过自然手段和人力达到目的。基于这个缘由，他的梦想是建造能与其环保哲学一致的船舶。帆船的主要动力是600平米的帆。由于船要在极地地区航行，那么也需要动力装置以满足穿越冰海的需求。因此选择低排放的发动机以达到与远征目的一样的原则需要。
The boat is equipped with two lighting systems, one providing standard lighting and the other pilot or dimmed light that will save on energy. LED bulbs will be used – they give stronger light output with reduced voltage requirements.

帆船装备两套照明系统，一套用来标准照明，另外一套用来领航和提供灰暗的灯光一节省能源。使用LED灯泡 - 这些LED灯泡提供强光照明但同时减少了电压负荷。

In order to produce the required energy on board, two eco-friendly systems have been put in place. The top side of the cockpit will be covered with solar panels. The output of amps will be sufficient enough to charge the batteries of the boat. But as the solar energy is quite difficult to store over a long period of time (even with the help of batteries), the boat will also have a system comprising an electrolyser, hydrogen storage and a fuel cell. The solar panels will be used to give energy to the electrolyser to break the molecules of water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. These will be stored and become the fuel that will be used to produce electricity within the fuel cell whenever needed. In that way, the sun will be the only source of energy and the boat will be largely self-sufficient.

为了减低船上的能源需求，建立了两个环保系统。驾驶舱的顶端放置了太阳能板。太阳能板所提供的电流安培足以满足这艘船的充电需求。然而由于太阳能很难长时间储存(即使使用电池来储备),因此船舶还需要一个系统包括电解槽、氢气储存器和一个燃料后处理室。太阳能板提供的电能将输出到电解槽以分解水成为氢和氧分子。然后储存下来成为燃料，之后无论何时需要的时候在燃料后处理室被用于产生电能。这样一来，太阳变成为唯一的能量来源，而这艘船将大大地变成自给自足。
The last step is to have an eco-friendly way of life onboard. Recycling will be a priority. The kitchen has been designed to have compartments for wastes such that they are sorted and ready to be recycled each time the boat makes a stop in a harbor. The boat will also be equipped with large nets and a working area to receive bottles and plastic bags that will be taken out of the water and transported to be recycled.

最后一个步骤是拥有一个生态友好的船上生活。重复使用是一个主要考量。厨房被设计成不同的间隔处置垃圾，这样的方式用来把垃圾分类和准备在每个港口停泊时再循环使用。这艘船还配备大型的网和工作区域以收集各种瓶子和塑料袋，这些东西将被运到陆地上并运走后循环处理。

Pangaea has a media and broadcast centre onboard equipped with the latest technology allowing the creation of high quality broadcast content. Communication from anywhere in the world will be possible. The multimedia centre will enable live TV transmission and production, from TV broadcast to Web content. Among the capabilities will be post-production of audio and video content on different workstations, professional HD Video, audio and DVD creation, content storage, content conversion, content copying, content backup, video conferencing and IT infrastructure with office applications, e-mail, internet and instant messaging using intranet.
泛大陆号还有媒体和广播中心，配备最先进的技术以便制作高质量的播出内容。与世界各地的沟通都没问题。多媒体中心能够现场电视转播和制作，从电视传播到互联网内容制作。其中还具备声像后期制作所需要的各种工作台、专业高清晰摄像、音频和DVD制作、内容储存、模式转换、拷贝、备份；视频会议和信息技术基础设施以提供办公应用、电子邮件、互联网和使用互联网的即时交流。
A 16-seat conference room with round table will allow guests to congregate, discuss projects, watch films and make live video conference calls either with Mike Horn, on the terrain, or with other boardrooms around the world.
配备圆桌的16个位的会议室让来宾们聚集、讨论项目、看电影和进行与MIKE HORN的、与地面的或者世界各地的视像会议。

[远征新西兰特别报道之六]访问、了解当地毛利人

May 16th, 2009

Our YE’s woke up this morning, bright and early in their new surroundings of the Pangaea sailboat. Today would be their first full day in the Southland town of Bluff!

我们的青少年探险队员今早醒来，围绕着泛大陆号帆船四周是明亮的晨光。今天或许才算是在南岛的Bluff镇完整的第一天。
Phillippa, Pangaea's cook, made for them a hearty breakfast of hot oats, an appropriate meal to start the cold, wet day that lay ahead of them.
费力帕，帆船的大厨，为队员们准备了丰盛的热燕麦早餐，这为即将面对的湿冷一天最合适的一顿早餐了。
At 10 am, our team headed off to Invercargill to visit a Marae, the local meeting place of the Maori people. Tradition has it that women walk first into the Marae and men follow them. Shoes and hats are removed. We, the guests, sat at one side of the Marae, while the local people sat on the other side. An introduction in Maori language was given and some people sang. Afterwards, it was for us, the guests, to talk and sing. Jun and Alisa, both sang in their own languages, while inbetween the two songs, Mike Horn gave a brief speech to thank them for their welcome.
十点钟，我们的团队朝着Invercargill出发去访问一个毛利人聚集地，当地毛利人举办集会的地点。传统上是妇女先进入聚会地，然后男子跟进。脱掉帽子和鞋子。我们，这些客人坐在了集会地点的一边，而当地人则坐在另外一边。开始是用毛利语作介绍然后一些人唱歌。之后轮到我们这些客人谈话和唱歌。来自中国的李珺和来自俄罗斯的奥利萨两人分别用自己国家的语言演唱了歌曲。而穿插在她们俩中间是MIKE HORN用简短的致辞感谢当地人的迎接。
After the official procedures were over, we were offered tea and the Maori people shared with us their local songs and taught us how to do the haka. It was a wonderful introduction to the Maori people and traditions and an amazing exchange of cultures was seen between the local people and out multicultural group of Young Explorers.

仪式过后，他们用茶招待了我们，他们还和我们分享了他们当地的民歌及教我们如何跳哈卡舞。对于开始了解毛利族人和他们的传统这真是棒极了的开始，而且我们亲眼目睹了我们多种文化组成的青少年探险队员团队和当地人之间的文化交流的令人惊奇的场景。
Back onboard the boat in the afternoon, a tour was given with Captain Nick and our YE's got a full introduction of Pangaea and the safety procedures.

下午回到船上后，船长尼克带领大家巡视了我们的帆船，与此同时我们的队员对帆船获得了一个完整的认识并了解了安全程序。
After a good dinner the YE's gave us their impression of the day and the planning for the next day was discussed. Weather permitting, we plan to leave in the afternoon after an introduction to the environmental project that the YE will conduct on Coal Island - The real adventure will start tomorrow when we leave behind us all civilization and start sailing!

来到船上第二个晚餐后，队员们介绍了自己的今天的观感，并讨论了第二天的安排。天气允许的话，在介绍完队员们将要在煤炭岛进行的环保项目后，大伙将在下午离开帆船。 - 当抛开我们所有的文明现实后，正真的历险明天即将开始，我们要起航啦!

May 17th, 2009

Another early wake up for our YE's in New Zealand. They are slowly beginning to recover from their jetlag and are getting used to their new environment with Pangaea and her crew.

Today was 'Preparation Day' for our Young Explorers. They prepared for their departure to the Fiords and packed up the equipment in the boat's garage for the ACT project that they would be carrying out on Coal Island.

又是一个早起的清晨。我们的青少年探险家们慢慢地开始从时差中恢复，并且开始熟悉和习惯他们的周围的新环境 - 泛大陆号帆船和船员工作人员们。今天对于我们所有人员来说是个"准备日"，要为离开帆船去峡湾以及为将在煤炭岛进行的ACT项目整理放置在船舱库房的各种设备。

At 11am, they were given a short presentation from the people of the Department of Conservation and the South West New Zealand Endangered Species Charitable Trust, about the ACT or Coal Island Project that the YE's will be working on for the next few days. A lot of questions were asked by our interested group. Never before had they done something like this and they were very happy to be able to contribute back to the environment by helping the endangered species thrive in this region.

十一点，新西兰国家环保局以及新西兰西南濒临灭绝物种公益信托机构将给所有青少年探险人员做个关于所有队员今后几天将要在煤炭岛进行工作的ACT项目简短的报告。好奇的队员们询问了很多问题。这些都是他们从未做过的事情，而且能够通过帮助这一区域濒临灭绝物种所面临的挑战回馈大自然，队员们感到非常幸福。

At 1pm, lunch was eaten all together in the boats conference room. This would be the last lunch before their departure for the Southland fjords. At 4pm the mooring lines were released and Pangaea left Bluff.

下午一点，所有人聚集在船上会议室午餐。这是离开帆船挺进南岛峡湾之前最后一顿午餐了。四点，系泊缆索松开，泛大陆号离开Bluff。

The first few hours were rough with wind gusts of up to 30 knots and large swells. Our YE's quietened down most considerably but not for long. A few hours later they had all recovered and were helping with the navigation.

头几个小时大风达到30节并且掀起巨浪。我们队员保持极大的正静但是维持不久。几个小时后他们要动身帮助航行。

Pangaea will spend the night on anchor in a sheltered cove close to Cove Island and the work for the Coal Island project will start tomorrow morning bright and early.

泛大陆号将在靠近Cove岛的一个隐蔽的小海湾停泊，煤炭岛项目工作将在18号一早开始。

出于好奇，吾自己为读者随便问了几个问题，以下是问题，回答是船员:

问:

where the fresh water for man use comes from?
船上饮用淡水从何而来?
how they use water and get out of it when toiling and personal cleanning?

盥洗用水和个人清洁用水是如何考虑的?
how they sleep?
how to get out of dizziness on board when sleeping or at wake?

船员如何就寝?

睡觉或者醒来时候如何克服晕船
where the garbage to be dealed and how?

如何处理垃圾?

答:

- fresh water container is fulled in in each harbour. We as well have a
desalinator system onboard to create fresh water from sea water.
- there are normal toilets, normal taps and shower. They must be careful and
save water as much as possible.
- they sleep in bank beds : 3 beds on the tops of each (see pictures from
antarctica Expedition).
- to avoid beeing sick , the best is to eat enough and if you don't feel
well => if possible go outside to get some fresh air. If really not feeling
well, the doctor will give them some medication.
- everything that can be recycled is and the other garbage is kept and
thrown away in the harbours.
吾其实也不太想翻译了，大致都能看懂吧，各位看官?

Today Young Explorers ACT ! - Taken from a blog by Young Explorer, Raphael Gabella.

青少年探险家今天在行动! - 来自队员拉斐尔的博客摘要

As you may know, the slogan of Pangaea’s project is to “explore, learn and act”. Here in the Fiordlands, we are learning a lot and with people who know it better than anyone else. Carl David Rundgren (otherwise known as Dolphin Dave), a marine biologist with 25 years experience is also with us on Pangaea and sharing his knowledge of this beautiful region.
正如你所知道的那样，泛大陆环球项目的宗旨是"探索、学习和行动"。今儿在福德群岛我们正在和对此有着更深理解的人们学习更多的东西。卡尔大卫让埻 (另外个绰号是海豚大卫)，一位有着25年经验的海洋生物学家也和我们一起在泛大陆帆船上与我们一起分享这个美丽区域的相关知识。

The ACT project on Coal Island - This project started in 2005 with the help of volunteers, such as the like of us. It has been supported over the years through funding by the Department of Conservation. Two people from this department are here to help us today. The aim of the project on Coal Island is to create a safe haven for endangered native species.

在煤炭岛上的ACT项目 - 这个项目于2005年在像我们这样的志愿者的帮助下开始的。由透新西兰环保部的一项基金支持其运作。今天来自环保部的两位官员也在此帮助我们。在煤炭岛的该项目的目的是为濒临灭绝的本地生物建立一个安全庇护之地。

Coal Island was visited first by the early Maori. In addition, gold was discovered in 1874.

Our goal for the day is to continue the control of introduced species such as rats, mice and stoats who are preying on birds. Our mission is to explore this island and replace the old traps with new traps and bait (eggs). There are 132 traps on the island, and of course, any rubish we see we must also remove.

煤炭岛首先由早期的毛利人踏足。此后在1874年，在该岛发现黄金。

我们今天的目标是继续对引入的、以鸟类维生的生物例如各种老鼠、鼬的控制。我们的任务是巡视这个岛屿和把旧的扑捉器换成新的扑捉器和诱饵(鸡蛋)。在岛上有132个扑捉器，当然，所有我们看得到的任何垃圾也得清除掉。

We started cleaning the island and changing the traps at 9 o’clock this morning. We finished at four o’clock in the afternoon. During this time, we were walking in the forest the entire time. It was awesome! It
looks like the Amazon. It was a very long walk in the mud, where no people had been for a very long time. We saw some amazing birds like the fantail, bellbirds (korimako in maori), tui, and morepork just two meters away from us. Some of the other people were lucky enough to see the karakiki and yellowhead.

上午九点，我们开始清理并把扑捉器更换掉。下午四点我们完成任务。在这期间我们完全在此森林中漫步。这真是棒极了! 整个森林像亚马逊。在泥浆里我们行进了很长时间，而这些地方有很久很久没有人到过了。我们还看见一些鸟类，例如鸠尾榫、铃鸟(毛利语是korimako)、吸蜜鸟还有离我们只有两米距离的布布克鹰鸮。而我们队员中有的还幸运地看到一种当地的鸟叫karakiki以及新西兰金丝雀。

Here we realize that we have really to save our planet.

“It was successful today", said Mike Horn tonight. "We have to continue tomorrow".

在这儿我们切实感到我们真的要保护我们的星球。

"今天任务圆满完成。" 麦克洪恩晚上总结说。"明天我们要继续。"

Strong winds and heavy rains lashed the coast of Coal Island today making it impossible for our team of Young Explorers to return to the island to lay the last traps. This was a disappointment for the team but Mike and the crew were not prepared to take any risks. Instead, Pangaea was moved closer to the mainland where she could take shelter from the storm.

狂风暴雨像鞭子一样抽打着煤炭岛沿岸，使得我们的队员回到岛上放置最后扑捉器成为不可能。这让我们的团队感到失望，不过麦克和船员们并不打算冒任何风险。取而代之，泛大陆号驶入更靠近大陆的区域以躲避暴雨。

It was after lunch that Mike Horn decided to approach closer to the coastline and the Young Explorers were able to disembark onto solid ground. They explored the southern tip of the mainland amongst wild bush and forest, cascading waterfalls and incredible wildlife. Never before had they seen native bush so dense and lush. They returned back to the boat four hours later, tired but happy from everthing they had seen.

一用过午餐，麦克决定把船驶向海岸线，队员们于是能够登陆。他们在岛的南端满是间中既有瀑布还有令人难以置信的野生动物的灌木、丛林中前行。队员们从来没有见过这么茂密和苍翠的新西兰未开垦的荒野之地。四个小时后队员们回到船上，他们感到疲劳但是亲眼目睹的一切又使得我们的队员感到开心愉悦。

The weather should start improving tomorrow, and as soon as it does, our eager team will return to Coal Island to complete their task.

明天的天儿应该会好转，一旦好转，我们充满渴望的队伍将返回到珊瑚岛完成他们的使命。

It’s the start of my night watch on Pangaea. As I stay awake taking care of this amazing boat it struck me how much we rely on Phillipa, the cook on Pangaea. She feeds a crew of 26 people, breakfast,lunch and dinner and the food is really extremely good.
今晚轮到我值班看守帆船。在我看护这条无与伦比的帆船的时候，联想到我们是多么依赖费力帕 - 船上的大厨。她要给船上的二十六人提供早餐、中餐和晚餐，喂饱他们。她做的东西真是好吃!
We went back to coal island today! First we started with a brisk run to the other side of the island and back!! We did it in 50 minutes - very fast! We came back via the north track and ended up on the track to Sandfly point.
今天我们回到了珊瑚岛!我们先轻松地从岛的一端跑到另一端然后折回!!我们花了五十分钟 - 相当快!我们回来时候是经过北边的小道，最后在前往Sandfly角的小径上结束。
On the walk back along the coast we had no urge to hurry. We wanted to take the time to enjoy the nature that surrounded us. There was indeed a sense of peace, while we walked silently, amongst the dense forest listening to the chimes of its feathered inhabitants. It was a wonderful feeling.
在沿着海岸步行的时候我们不需要着急。我们要慢慢地欣赏四周大自然美景。当我们在茂密的森林中边走边听着岛上的各种鸟类居民鸣叫时，发现周围真的是静悄悄的。感觉真太棒了!
When we had finished, we dropped the traps off at a lodge that was once known as the town of Kisbee. There is nothing left of the town today, except an old boiler and the tram line, the remnants of the gold rush.
漫步完成后，我们把随身行李放到一个小屋里，这里曾经是Kisbee镇。如今除了一个陈旧的锅炉和一条矿车轨道这些淘金热时的遗物，曾经的小镇空空如也。
Afterwards it was time for general discussion and yet another meal prepared by Phillippa.
随后我们开始集体讨论，紧随着是吃饭时间，这次又是费力帕为我们准备的美味佳肴。
Our day was a successful one and we were happy to be back once again at Pangaea, our floating home and haven.

今天很圆满，我们都很开心再次回到帆船上 - 这条我们的在海上漂浮的家和避风港。

[远征新西兰之十二] Dusky Sound湾，我们来啦!

May 21st, 2009

Taken from a blog of Raphael Gabella

"We left from Preservation Inlet this morning and sailed to Dusky Sound. Pangaea's sails were up and the Young Explorers either had to participate with the stearing the boat or pulling the sails up. After about 5 hours we reached the spectacular Dusky Sound where we went to anchor at the same spot where Captain Cook moored his boat in 1770 after he came back from Antarctica.

We went on shore during the afternoon to fish and find fod for the evening. We were quite succeseful and found lots of mussels and some great fish.

After dinner, we went out and walked throught the forest for around 1 hour. We eventually reached a small camp that the Mike Horn team had set up in the afternoon. Tonight the Young Explorers are spending their first night under the tents in the forest."

今早我们离开了保护区，向Dusky Sound湾区挺进。泛大陆号的风帆升起，所有青少年探险家们要不参与引航要不帮助把风帆升起。经过五个小时航行后，我们到达壮观的Dusky Sound湾，在1770年库克船长从南极洲返航后抛锚的同一地方，我们也做着相同的事儿!

中午我们去了岸边捕鱼并为晚餐准备食物。我们很顺利并且找到许多青口和一些大鱼。

晚餐后我们出发到森林中漫步接近一小时。我们最终到达MIKE和其团队下午建好的营地。今晚所有YP们将第一次在丛林中帐篷下渡过黑夜。

Taken from a blog of Jun Lee - The dolphins! 李珺的博客

There is no signal for telephone or internet where we are now, nor any other boats to be seen, so you can imagine how isolated we suddenly feel, here in the fiords of Southland.

Instead of human civilization we are surrounded by the most stunning nature and wildlife. As luck would have it, this morning, we came across an amazing sight, one of human's closest friends, the dolphin!
我们现在所在的地儿既没有电话通讯也没有互联网，还看不到任何船只。因此你可以想象忽然而至的与世隔绝感，这里就是南岛的峡湾地区。

取代人类文明社会环绕我们的是足以令人称奇的美丽大自然和野生动物。今早，幸运之神翩然而至，我们极为壮观地遇见人类最亲近的朋友之一，海豚们!
Late in the morning, around 10 AM, Pangaea arrived with full sail into the Dusky Sound. The weather was the best we had had so far. The sunshine was beaming down and flickering upon the sea and there was a gentle, cool breeze and thin clouds. During winter the South Island of New Zealand is seldom forecasted without rain or cold temperatures! Yes, don`t forget it is now winter in New Zealand and temperatures are often below 10°C.

上午晚些时候，大约在十点，泛大陆号升起全帆，全速驶入到 Dusky Sound湾区。今天的天气好的不得了，是我们此次远征以来遇见的最好的天儿。阳光洒满大地，海面上熠熠生辉。轻柔而舒适的风儿拂面，天空上只有薄薄的云朵。在冬季的新西兰南岛是很少有雨和冷冻天气的!别忘记喽，在新西兰其它地区的冬季温度通常是零下10度。

All of the Young Explorers and Mike Horn Team came up on deck when we reached the middle of the sound. And there they were! At the beginning, there were just two or three dolphins playing in the distance, but as time passed little by little, more of them emerged from the deep sea and came closer to us, showing absolutely no fear! We could easily see their immense, smooth bodies through the clear sea! You cannot imagine how happy we were - what excitment!

帆船到达这个湾区的中间的时候，所有队员和麦克的团队成员齐聚甲板。这时奇迹也出现啦! 我们看见海豚!起先是两三只在远处游弋，但是随着时间一点一点推移，越来越多的海豚从深海浮出水面、越来越靠近我们!而且他们看上去一点都没有恐惧感!这么近距离，透过清澈的海水我们很容易地观察到他们巨大而光滑的身躯!你都没法想象我们是多么开心 - 又是多么激动啊!

Dolphins are very social mammals, as Dave, the Marine Biologist told us. We could see the mothers accompaning their calves and then later others would come and join the group.

船上海洋生物学家Dave告诉我们，海豚是非常具有社交能力和喜欢群居的哺乳类动物。我们可以观察到海豚妈妈们陪伴着他们的宝贝小海豚，随后呢其它的海豚也会加入到海豚妈妈和孩子们的群里来。

The most important part of our scientific observation was to see whether they had nicks on their dorsal fin. Usually the nicks are bite marks made by the calves, with which the conservationists can identify them and count their numbers.

我们要做的科学观察最重要的部分是看看在他们的背鳍上是否有小疤痕。这些疤痕通常是被这些小海豚啄咬的，而自然保护工作者们正是通过这些来辨别并且盘点海豚的数量。

There is a saying that states, 'the more you see, the more you want to see', but instead of over-staying our welcome, we decided to leave and no disturb the dolphins any further. It's very important not to interefere and to leave nature as you find it. Afterall, we were just passers-by and had already experienced a very privileged moment!

常言道:欲罢不能休。我们决定不这么一个劲儿地站在那儿欢迎海豚们了，我们马上离开且不再打扰海豚们。当你发现自然景观也好野生动物也罢，不去打搅且让他们保持自然状态是非常重要的。毕竟我们只是过客而且我们已经获得无与伦比的特殊待遇。

队员们前几天正如李珺的博客里描述的一样，遇见了前所未有的好天儿，还有海豚!

而且他们还和Mike及船员们一起学习了航海课程。

之后他们航行去了Supper Cove 湾区，并从那儿离开帆船在Dusky Track荒野里进行艰苦跋涉的行军远征!

徒步跋涉远征的时间大致需要四到五天，队员们将不会传回任何文字报道直到周四他们回来之后。当然，他们携带了卫星电话，那也只是在紧急情况下使用。

全体青少年探险家们将和熟悉该地区的专家Dave、医生Malcolm、向导Erwan及专家 Mike Horn一道，这个梦之队正展开此次远征最惊险、最富有意义和最艰巨的一段!

让我们为他们加油!

关于帆船的问题回答读者:

1、请阅读之前关于帆船的特别介绍博客；

2、泛大陆号帆船坚持使用风帆在大部分时间进行航行。配备动力只是因为要在极为寒冷和坚韧的南北极冰封的海域进行破冰航行。

3、关于海豚的图片是有些小，很抱歉! 并没有特别聚焦到海豚身上的原因是因为任何生物包括人类，其生存质量都是和环境密不可分的!

多谢关注!

[远征新西兰之十六]MIKE HORN卫星电话报告!

May 26th, 2009

Satellite call from Mike. "We have reached the saddle or highest point of the Dusky Trail. It's been three days of steady walking for me and the team. We have walked about 15-20 kms each day. The bush here in the Fiordlands is amazing! What a privilege to be here and to be able to experience this with the Young Explorers!

The weather has improved but we remain well protected from the sun due to the dense bush that covers us. It is frosty in the morning and the trail has already had a good covering of snow making it really muddy and wet. This is not a deterent for the Young Explorers however-nothing will stop them!!!

Another night in the tent tonight and tomorrow we should met up with the boat in Deep Cove. I'm sure the YE's will be ready for a shower!!!"

五月二十六日 2009年

我们已经抵达Dusky Trail的顶峰。我和青少年探险家们一起已经不间歇地徒步有三天了。这几天来我们每天平均步行15-20公里。福德岛未开垦荒野地区真是壮观美丽、无与伦比!有此机会到这并和青少年探险家们一起经历是件多么难得的机会啊!

天气逐渐好转，由于灌木茂密，我们一直都能很好地抵挡阳光的辐射。清晨时是严酷寒冷的天气，这个区域开始被冰雪所覆盖，这样一来很泥泞和潮湿。而这些根本没法威慑住我们刚强坚毅的所有青少年探险家们!!!

今晚将是呆在帐篷里的又一个晚上，而明天我们就会和帆船在Deep Cove汇合。我敢肯定的是队员们亟不可待地要洗澡了!

At 17h00 local time, Mike Horn and his Pangaea team, comprising of doctor, local guides, mountain guides, photo and film crew, and 9 International Young Explorers walked out of the Fiordland dense native bush. The team had just walked four days following the Dusky Trail, from Supper Cove in the Dusky Sound to Deep Cove in the Doubtful Sound, a trek of 60 kms in snow covered vegetation and crossing a mountain saddle of 1'000meters.

They tired but happy team received a warm welcome from Pangaea's crew, who were moored and ready to greet them in Deep Cove.

Mike Horn reports, "It was an incredible feeling to be in such dense native bush and to be able to live this adventure with our Young Explorers. We were privileged to have two local guides with us, Sue and Alan, who shared with us their wealth of knowledge about the flora and fauna of the region."

五月二十七日

当地时间下午五点，麦克及其泛大陆号团队，包括队医、当地向导、登山向导、摄影和摄像工作人员以及九名青少年探险家们徒步离开福德岛茂密的灌木林。团队沿着Dusky Trail行进了四天，从Dusky Sound 峡湾的Supper Cove 到Doubtful Sound的Deep Cove - 在积雪覆盖的植被上徒步跋涉60公里并穿越1000米山峰。

队员们很疲惫但是非常开心，回到停泊在Deep Cove准备迎接他们的船上受到热烈欢迎。

麦克说:"在如此茂密的当地丛林里并且和能够和我们的青少年探险家一起经历这种感觉真是不可思议!我们还特别荣幸地请到两名当地的向导，苏和艾伦，他们和我们分享了其丰富的关于当地动植物的知识。"

"Milford Sound greeted us with all her glory today," says Mike. At 17h00, Pangaea, her crew, Mike Horn and the Young Explorers sailed into the most known of the Southland fiords, the Milford Sound.

"We were blown away by the magnificent scenery as we sailed into Milford! We acknowledge how lucky we have been as we have had good weather this last week, not at all usual for this time of year! We had a magnificent day yesterday as we sailed through the Dusky Sound. We saw some dolphins, a whale and royal albatross.

Tonight we will find a sheltered spot to moor Pangaea and our team will have a good sleep. Only a few more days before our Young Explorers return to their respective countries. We have a nice few days planned for them with diving and kayaking to keep them busy."

"今天，迈尔福德峡湾展开它迷人的怀抱拥抱欢迎我们。"麦克说。

下午五点，泛大陆号、船员、麦克、还有所有的青少年探险家们驶入南岛最著名的迈尔福德湾区。

"我们被迈尔福德无与伦比的景色震撼了!我们内心充满感激，因为最后这周的天气一直很好，而实际上一年当中这个时候几乎天气不可能这样棒的!昨天当我们航行经过达斯基峡湾时感觉好极了。我们看见海豚、一条鲸鱼、和信天翁。

今晚，我们将找个地儿抛锚停航而我们的团队也将好好睡一觉。只有几天了，之后我们的青少年探险家们将各自回到自己的国家。我们计划好这几天会让他们忙个不停的，他们将会参加跳水、皮划艇等这样富有乐趣的活动。

“It was a rather sad day today”, says Mike. “At 12 noon our Young Explorers left Pangaea in Milford Sound and returned to Invercargill to get flights home to their respective countries around the world.”

“All of a sudden it's very quiet here and we are feeling rather empty. For two and a half weeks we had the enormous pleasure of sharing an amazing adventure of discovery with a group of highly motivated young adults. How privileged we all were to be able to discover the beauty of Fiordland and to learn about this incredible ecosystem.”
"今天真是个令人伤感的日子"，麦克说。"中午十二点，我们的青少年探险家们在迈尔福德湾离开了帆船，他们要返回到Invercargill 搭乘班机回到位于世界各地的各自的国家。"

"忽然间这里寂静得很，我们感到很失落。过去两周半，我们和一群热情高涨的青少年们渡过了极为开心的日子，共同分享不可思议的探索冒险之旅。多么难得的机会啊我们能在一起去发现福德峡湾的壮丽并去了解这个难以置信的生态系统。"

“What an amazing experience it was for us all to be surrounded by such breathtaking scenery, being totally cut off from civilization and yet amongst such an outstanding abundance of flora and fauna.”

“Fiordland was an ideal place for us to carry out YEP. The mission of Pangaea is to EXPLORE, LEARN and ACT with the Young Explorers and with the help of an experienced and qualified team we successfully achieved our goals.”
这真是个令人惊叹不已的经历，它让我们身处在如此壮丽恢宏的景色中，完全与世隔绝，还有这些举世无双的丰富的动植物陪伴。"

福德峡湾是个理想之地让我们开展YEP青少年探险家项目。泛大陆环球探险的宗旨和使命是与青少年探险家们一起在富有经验的和有资历的团队帮助下探索、学习和行动，我们成功地达到了我们的这些目标。"
