What an Amaising young girl Jessica Watson is
to sail around the world alone at 16,
in my eyes she deserves the world record,
good on ya Jess. :)
-
i was not in favor at first, but she has done it, you would'nt catch me doing it, tell me marty, she is from qld, if she was short of the record by 1200ks, why not sale onto qld, would that not sealed the deal. Or did sydney pay the dollars to get her to finish in nsw.

i was in favor as i think anyone is entitled to fullfill their dreams.
u think theyt would have told her somewhere along the lines,
1200ks they must be jokeing
she went around the bloody world! whats ks got to do with it,
she,s 16 years old, there are not many grown men that could do what she has done.
good on her i say, she deserves a medal and the goverment should buy her a house i recon.
-
hey marty, as one commentator said. Tall Poppy Syndrome, say no more.
george.

i hav noticed that when jess started this endevour .very little was said about it by the media, an wot was said did little i reckon to back her up. . i think they all thought she wasnt gonna pull it off. . but now at the end of it all ,i notice all n sundry in that proffesion are all jumpin on the bandwagon an makin lots of noise cos SHE DID get through it all, well the marsupial of mayhem reckons GOOD ON HER for shuvvin it right up all the pessemistic comments origonally tossed her way, 15 outta 10 for perseverence n stamina n provin em all wrong, , ;) wgnder if her next challange will be to drive a bedddy round aus wivout layin a spanner on it LOL :D
-
The impossible she can do - but a beddie around Aus without a spanner???? That would need a miracle.
-
