Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year and she decided to realize a childhood dream and sail around the coast of Scotland in a small boat. Although the inside of the boat is very cosy it has no running water or electricity. Fiona says she can live without these things but she plans to take her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life isn’t too uncomfortable.

　　We asked her if she was afraid of being at sea for so long. She said, “Well, I’m going to take a good compass (指南针). Anyway I’m not afraid of death because I love the sea---I just hope it loves me.” Fiona certainly has plenty of energy; in her spare time, she enjoys playing the piano, rock-climbing, canoeing and dancing. Although she is sixty, she doesn’t want to have a quiet and peaceful life. “I’m looking forward to having fun in the rest of my life and that’s exactly why I’d like to be a sailor for a while.”

六十岁的祖母，菲奥娜麦咖啡，要停止工作一年，她决定在一个小的船实现了童年的梦想，环游苏格兰海岸。虽然船的里面很舒适没有自来水或电力。菲奥娜说，她可没有这些东西的生活，但她打算带她小的CD播放器，她的热水瓶和一包书让生活不太舒服。我们问她是否害怕在海上这么长时间。她说，“嗯，我要好好的罗盘(指南针)。反正我不害怕死亡，因为我爱海，我只希望爱我。”菲奥娜当然有足够的能量;在业余时间，她喜欢攀岩，弹钢琴，跳舞，划独木舟。虽然她是六十，她不想有一个安静平和的生活。“我希望在我的余生的乐趣，这就是为什么我想成为一个当水手。”
