Chinese Junk

Sailing a wooden junk from Haimen Island to Xiamen Island (14 nautical miles) on July 10, 2019. The boat is in pretty bad shape due to virtually zero maintenance over the past 10 years. Sails are rotten, engine is leaking coolant, etc. We had to stop the engine from time to time to let it cool off, floating on the outgoing tide. Weather was ok, about 4 Bft wind, overcast with occaissonal rain. Sea was pretty calm, with waves less than 1.5 m (5 ft).
