Default Jessica Watson - Sail around the world.

I'm sure some of you are aware that Jessica Watson (16 years old) started her journey of sailing around the world today.

Quote:
Teenage adventurer Jessica Watson has set off under grey skies in her quest to make history as the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
Source: Jessica Watson sets sail from Sydney on world record sailing attempt

What are your thoughts? Reckon she will make it? and not smash into a cargo vessel again lolol. It's going to take roughly 240 days and she isn't allowed to stand on land or touch anybody in that time i believe :/.

If you want to follow her: Jessica Watson - youngest ever to sail around the world

I can see myself finishing on her face!

But yeah, it's a mammoth task. And she's a human, so she'll most likely fail.

She is basically wasting a year of her life and putting herself in danger... I hope she goes through the Tasman so she realises how stupid it is....

Lets assume she doesn't die...

Congratulations, you can sail around the world.... You have equalled a feat that the human race achieved over 500 years ago (without the use of water-purifiers, computers, GPS, food preservatives etc etc)

Even if she does succeed, how exactly is she going to get a decent job without a high school education?

Or is she going to live off money made from tv appearances and book deals?

Will be interesting to see if she can pull it off on her own considering she is in a significantly smaller vessel compared to some of the others that have attempted this same challenge in the past...

I hope that she is able to pull it off!

I think it's somewhat stupid because if she does fail, we're wasting resources on saving her life which could be used on more significant things.

i personally hope she dies.... fingers crossed.

most people who have sailed around the world went crazy and were talking to imaginary people and pretty much broke down... and they expect this young 16yr old girl to do it...
