WHAT IS A HERO?
KYASUKE TOMODA, 18 October 2003
His first words after a solo Pacific crossing, URESHII, very happy! He sailed through all kinds of weather, 5,374 miles, 77 days, gambling with life and death. His guru Aoki taught him Zen. His mother and friends greeted him with flowers and champagne. He credited willpower and all of the new technology for his success.
