Lesson 12 Goodbye and good luck 再见，一路顺风

Our neighbor, Captain Charles Alison, will sail from Portsmouth tomorrow. We shall meet him at the harbour early in the morning. He will be in his small boat: Topsail. Topsail is a famous little boat. It has sailed across the Atlantic many times. Captain Alison will set out at eight o'clock so we shall have plenty of time. We shall see his boat and then we shall say good-bye to him. He will be away for two months. We are very proud of him. He will take part in an important race across the Atlantic.

From Vistor of Topsail's View:

Captain Charles Alison and his small boat who named Topsail will set out from the harbour of Portsmounth tomorrow morning. Topsail is a famed boat because it has been across the Atlantic for many times. It will cross the Atlantic again in the important race this time. He will depart at 8:00 a.m. 'so'[=> So :170125] we have enough time to visit his boat. Topsail has a two three-bladed propellers to let it sail faster[170125]. Meanwhile Topsail is lighter than other kinds of boats so it requires its driver to have more experience and skills to control it. Captain Charles is a consumate[=> consummate] sailor and we all think that he 'would win'[=> is sure to win :170125 游过英吉利海峡一课] the race. See you, Topsail! Good luck, Captain Charles!
