Australian 16-year old Jessica Watson returned a few weeks ago from her round-the-world solo sailing adventure. Before she left, people were asking what in heaven's name her parents were thinking. But lo and behold, when she arrived home safely, she was hailed a hero. If there were any voices still exclaiming how stupid it was, you couldn't hear them for cheers and general celebratory hullaballoo. Sigh.
By the way, for those who haven't heard the news yet, Abby Sunderland has just been found, safe and sound. Among other Australian search parties, a Qantas Airbus with a large contingent of specialist 'spotters' found her. I was on the phone when the news came through, so I'm not sure if she's being picked up, or plans to continue her journey.
I agree. I don't understand how her parents could allow her putting herself in harms way like this.
Thank God she radioed she was ok. But her mast broke & she will have to be rescued.

They can't get to her until tomorrow.
