我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I tried to sail to Cuba on a canoe I built myself.

My rudder broke, I was becalmed and carried away by the current, a ferocious storm came, I spent several days hallucinating from exhaustion and sleep deprivation.

I found out I have funny voices in my head. The sounds of the waves and sails taught me to sail my broken boat to Florida. Then my troubles really began...
