Bingbing said Captain Tie offers sailing experiences, and she had seen our poster at Qiuyuan Cafe. Captain Tie was very interested, so he scanned the QR code to learn more about joining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Out of caution, I replied, “At this moment, I don’t want to add new content right away. Can we get in touch on WeChat first?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Because I trusted Bingbing, I visited the public account \"Necktie Sailing\" and read Tie's personal story, including his project to restore a sailboat. Between the lines, I glimpsed another person's world and a field that was unfamiliar to me. It also challenged some of my preconceptions: in China and elsewhere, activities such as sailing or golf are often seen as symbols of status, and this alone can attract people to participate. His articles have no such airs, instead, they reflect his sincere love for sailing and its meaning in his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eA little over an hour later, we met the next day at the Three Pagodas’ Surakarta. Tie had brought his son along, and both were relaxed. We discussed our respective endeavors, especially his Labora sailboat restoration project, which was imaginative and inclusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I was impressed that he used to provide escort services for sailboat owners who were sailing far away - it was an interesting job. Unlike bicycles or motorcycles, which can be transported back after sailing, sailboats need to be navigated to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e In the midst of my hesitation and uncertainty, clarity emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e The next day, I arrived at Tie’s base on the farm, a small body of water surrounded by lush vegetation. Tie’s wife and son, Haibao, were there, as well as a teenager he had mentored during his summer at a vegetable community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe small white sailboat had only a sail, a rudder and a stabilizer, almost like a toy. When I boarded the sailboat, Tie advised me not to rush to steer, but to feel the wind direction and adjust the sails accordingly. At first, the wind was calm, but then the wind picked up and the sailboat began to glide. Teenager Haibao, his mother and I sailed in different directions along the lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I realized that large multi-sail sailboats were likely to have evolved from this simple model. This simple sailboat experience is probably better - to really experience it yourself, feel the wind, and experience the operation independently, rather than just watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e The greatest value of this experience is the initial understanding, immersion and direct sensory experience. Most importantly, someone guides you to understand this field in the right way and may take you further into the world outside of your daily life and gain more experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I think Captain Tie is such a person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Therefore, we will launch this experience at Cangshan Hiking Home. We believe that this sailing experience and Captain Tie will definitely bring you something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e As he recently posted:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e \"Even in a small pond, \u003cbr\u003eWe can feel the embrace of the water.\u003cbr\u003e Whether with pole or oar,\u003cbr\u003e Everything is a tool.\u003cbr\u003e Go downstream, ride the wind,\u003cbr\u003e It’s effortless and exciting.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I believe that is the essence of beauty when we participate in an activity, a sport, we experience it, we immerse ourselves in it, and sometimes we connect with others, just as we are doing now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Let's try this cute and simple sailing experience together and get to know Captain Tie better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Jason 2024.08\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e About Captain Tie:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Graduated from Kingston University Business School, UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Backpacking around the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Around the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e For many years he has been involved in long distance sailing and sailing training around the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e WeChat public account: Tie Sailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dali Experience Community","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44658505121948,"sku":null,"price":398.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3450\/7676\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f1da4f4a-0145-4305-8f14-0d65cb9963ea.jpg?v=1742822317","url":"https:\/\/qcwwsq-qi.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/paddleboard-into-the-lake-at-the-mountain-foot-%e5%a4%8d%e5%88%b6","provider":"Dali Experience Community","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
