I have been following closely the brave and capable young
Jessica Watson on Pink Lady and intend to for the duration of her adventure (my virtual adventure also). I deeply admire her and all you guys who go out onto the oceans onboard your craft powered by nature her self and an element of skill. I have only had one short sail on Lake Nagambie near Seymour in Victoria. in of all craft a sabot. My main adventure sport was parachuting and as things progressed, skydiving. The close group in that sport,was possibly like sailing, in that on arriving in another state, one
phone call (mobile these days) and we were instantly into a local group. I read Jessica's down to earth blogs as she uploads them. There is a breath of fresh air in each and every one and feel she has a strong enough personality,even at sixteen, to just enjoy her own company on the high seas while looking forward to the next challenge so she can conquer it. Best of luck Jesse and all you sailors. RockyOne
