Tell me about your journey across the Pacific.

I set sail on April 1st, 2015.
How long did it take to complete your voyage?
(voyage = a long trip, especially by boat or into space)
Seven days on my super-power boat.
Wow! Did you run into any trouble?
It was smooth sailing for the most part. It didn't rain much. But I had seven liters of water. So it was perfect.
Didn't you get bored?
Not at all. I spent my time reading, writing, fishing, but most of all, as I was able to get Rajio Eikaiwa. I kept listening, kept practicing and kept on smiling.
No wonder your English is so good!
Thank you.

Fantastic!
I'm speechless. I'm glad it was smooth sailing for the most part.
