I know you were all on the edge of your chairs wondering what happened to Jessica Watson, the Australian I blogged about earlier who set out to become the youngest person to do a solo circumnavigation. After 23,000 miles, quite a few knockdowns, engine trouble (we know how that makes refrigeration an issue!), torn sails, and god knows what else, she finished! And after all that, she doesn't even get listed in the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) list for youngest non-stop circumnavigation because she is under 18. Not so surprisingly, I don't think she gives a damn.

I love this kid. I heard her interviewed somewhere and you can tell she is way cool. Her next mission may be Everest or some other far flung adventure.
