Asia's Youngest Ocean Explorer

“When I was a child, I [had] a dream to explore the ocean. And I don't know what to do. But the ocean taught me.”

Huai-Pu Chen, a student at National Taiwan University, is Asia's youngest sailor to cross the North Atlantic. He and two other crew members sailed from the West Sahara Desert across the North Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean last year.

“You can connect the world through the ocean. There is no boundary and there's unknown in the ocean, but the unknown means possibility.”
