13-year old girl wants to sail around the world...alone

[Faster Pussycat]

JEssica Watson shouldn';t qualify as the youngest person to sail round the world because...apparently she didn't sail into the northern hemisphere...

She did, the argument is that she didn't go far enough north and as such sailed less miles than Jesse Martin.

Abby Sunderland has also defered her solo around the world voygage and as such won't be younger than Jessica Watson.

Her record won't be recognised but I still think she has done an amazing job and is an inspiring young woman despite her insistance of her "ordinaryness"

Sydney put on a perfect day for her arrival and she kept the prime minister waiting three hours....then disagreed with his address!

I found it rather amusing that customs had to board Ella's Pink Lady to clear her to dock in Australian waters and dispose of all food etc "just incase" there was something that was prohibited that was picked up on the way. She didn't stop anywhere!
