Guest Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Jessica Watson is doing well on her bid to be the youngest to sail around the world. Just today, she successfully rounded Cape Horn. Personally i didn't agree with her going but now that she's doing it big ups to her- go girl!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 She's looking a tad secondhand and well over 16 in the vid. Mind you wouldn't we all after ..... err a lot of days at sea. Good to see she's still going strong. Might be a few having to eat some of that Humble Pie at the rate she is going. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 She seems in fine fettle for someone who has sailed 10000 miles non stop. Good on her. Did you notice in the vid her referring to "we've done it" several times. I guess she's acknowledging all the support she has received from sponsors, parents etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 More likely her and the boat make up the "we". You get like that after a while. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe she thinks she is royalty, if she does this, no doubt a "damehood" or whatever they call it is in the wings. Good on her, as I said, i didn't think she should go but i will gladly eat some pie to see her make it safely (ie with no search and rescue costs) Link to post Share on other sites
Quarter Pint 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 or she has just gone mental? She has exceeded my expectations and good on her! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 She's a Kiwi- good on her. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/artic ... d=10639496 I look forward to eating a huge slice of humble pie soon and have gone from an armchair critic to a huge fan Go Jess!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 So close but yet still 1000 miles to go, seems that the last bit is proving the toughest. Don't envy her with those conditions. http://www.smh.com.au/national/bad-weat ... -u0a7.html Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 NO record??? http://tvnz.co.nz/world-news/magazine-t ... rd-3517481 Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 "Big meanies" would be a phrase that comes to mind. She has certainly faced sufficient challenges to make the grade in most people's eyes. Could this issue knot have been brought up while she was still north of the equator and before she turned south, if that was the critical section of the voyage that needed to be longer? Another view would be that the controversy helps keep her in the headlines for this final leg. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 You mean to say something happened and it wasn't a record?? I thought the result of everything these days was a record of some sort. No pie for me Gents. Maybe I didn't judge the book by the cover Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 She's done it!! Good on ya Jess. Great effort, no matter what the detractors say, I am in awe. Well done. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/ar ... d=10645122 Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I thought it was brilliant she disagreed with the Aussie PM that she was a hero. Shows strength of character to stick up for what you think in front of such a huge crowd. Link to post Share on other sites
