I for one was highly skeptical about this young Aussie girl making it around the world after hitting a ship on her shakedown cruise. I take it all back now as she has it almost wrapped up. This is a credit to a young persons need to dream, have the courage, and the perseverance to pull it off. A sure testament to her character, and the understanding and belief from of her oft slated parents. Notice she underplayed Cape Horn against crossing the Great Australian Bight. When I crossed it last year I had the chance to stay in Port until the weather was right. This young lady has to take what is dished out at the time. God speed to her.
