Sixty-year-old grandmother, Fiona McFee, is going to stop working next year and she has 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 a time. 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.
