I have mixed feelings about these record breaking attempts. I think the minimum age at attempt should be 18. These winds were living hell and I would not want my daughter subjected to them on a vessel that is set with electric help aids that become useless without battery power. This trip to the south was a risk and this young woman has had her eyes opened wide to so much. Her book may be the best yet. To hell with the record.

Edited to add a big thank you for the crews who put their lives in danger to bring this young woman home alive.
