Reply #14: She would have set no records on this voyage... [View All]

would have to have restarted the trip from Capetown. No official record is allowed for anyone under 18. My hunch is that she just wanted to complete the trip and was probably headed to her homeport of Marina del Rey.

She told her mom that one knock down took out her radar and that was the last transmission so her other gear went out at the same time.

She did send a good position report at that time.

Some sixteen year olds make some pretty good decisions about what they want to do. Only two years more and we send 18 year olds off to war. Maybe attempting a dream is more important than facing old age after a humdrum life.
