This text described that there is a captain among the neighbours of writer’s. He has already sailed across the Atlantic for many times. Recently he will take part in an important race across the Atlantic. The writer and other neighbours will say goodbye to him at the harbor and will see his little boat.
Abroad there are a great many people to play yacht or boat. They often sail into the sea or take part in some races across the ocean. But in China it is seldom happened. Maybe there are lots of the same situation in China but I don’t know.
Playing yacht or boat need large sums of money. Except buying yacht or boat, you should consider the cost of maintenance, repair and workers wages etc. So it is not everybody has ability to afford such large expenses.
Also it will be limited by the geographical location. Under inland city conditions it is impossible to play yacht and boat.
