2. Any relation to Captain Paul Watson? |
|
Probably not, but the name and the shirt made me wonder

13. If you read her blog, one of the things she's concerned about now... |
|
is passing her driver's test when she gets back. :rofl:

5. What a wonderful accomplishment! I liked the Google map at her website. |
|
It's amazing.
I'll bet she'll be glad to have a nice warm bath and a dinner at a great Australian restaurant when she gets home.

12. I just checked out the blog. It's humiliating. |
|
I only wish I had a tenth of the courage and character that this young woman has demonstrated on this voyage.
I am so glad she's in the homestretch. She is an inspiration for all.

10. I have been reading her blog...... |
|
since before she left last October 18th, and it has been fun! She is extraordinarily brave for someone as young as she is. Her boat is rigged to be controlled easily from inside the cockpit, but she has been to the top of the mast and did get rolled over after rounding cape horn back in January! Should be quite a welcome home when she arrives.
thanks for the post!

People like her give cowards like me an expanded sense of what is possible in the world. :thumbsup:

Whaling Sucks!!
Awesome T shirt, too.
Sailing is fun, but it's hard work at times, and when it's hard, it's really hard.
