Can u imagine letting your 16 yr old saying "bye mom and dad, I am going to sail aroun the world"? Gee! hard to let mine walk to the corner store!😱

Description needs to amended. 5600 nautical miles is just about traveling around Austrailia. To circumnavigate the world? Thats closer to 28,000 miles since the equator by itself in a straight line is a little over 25K miles.

Woww!! commendable!!!
Mella
Absolutely loved her movie on Netflix. She is amazing.
Sandyberry
Oh my gosh! I bet her parents were terrified. I can't imagine one of my kids doing this at all, much less alone. She def must have been a tough, strong willed young lady.
Rob
AAAAAH she just wanted to find a way to get out of school!!
Robinlyne
Awesome, good for her!! It is interesting to me to know what she is into these days...I'm sure something awesome...

Uninitialized, thanks for the info.
Peg
Sandyberry, I would think a 40 ft sailboat we need at least two people to man it or female it. it's definitely not safe for anybody to sail alone. Maybe her folks sailed along beside her
Peg
Mella, what's the name of the movie?
Peg
RMCDM123, I've heard of her but I haven't read about her did she sail around Antarctica Maybe?
Peg
DeepCritter51, how'd she get the boat?
Le'Le

Lalaine
Wow..what an amazing achievement in life. I bet her parents are terrified but this is girl power.
Sasha
squirtable, a movie has been made of her adventures.
Jackie
absolute noway would let my son do that. she didn't have a boat following her in case she got into any kind of trouble. I'm glad she is ok and set a world record but I think it's definitely child endangerment.

kiwivstheworld, I hate to tell you this, but technically there are MANY MANY uninhabited islands in the world. Heck, there are probably many thousands of uninhabited islands just in southern Ontario, Canada, of varying shapes and sizes.
Amos
Vonnie, why do you say 14, rather than 15?
Amos
Mella, what was it called?
Lillian
RMCDM123, I wondered about that. 5600 miles is only about a fifth of the way.
Suzanne
what an achievement for somebody so young still. Hope this is not the end but that she will continue to achieve greater things in life
rebeca
