    Jessa Watson really goes to show that you can never be too young to accomplish great things. What a remarkable young lady she is.

    One last comment. In a few days Jessica will turn 18 years old. I myself have just published a lens on the 1st anniversary of Jessica's return home to Sydney on May 15, 2010. I was reviewing her book - True Spirit - which I read and thoroughly enjoyed.

    I gotta add this in - Way to go Jessica. You are a very mature person for a 16 year old.
    I am also very proud that I am actually related to Jessica Watson. Jessica's parents are both Kiwis.Jessica has both Australian and NZ citizenship. Jessica's mother is my second cousin. Jessica's maternal grandmother is my fathers first cousin.

    She's an amazing girl but I don't think I'd let my daughter do the same thing when she grows up. I want to see my daughter whenever I can 'till she's with her loved one someday.

    Great lens, she is an amazing kid, what the he** were her parents thinking about?
  • Serenia Jan 14, 2011 @ 11:32 am | delete
    Jessica's parents were encouraging her, and letting her find her dream. They didnt just let Jessica go and not hear from her for 8 months. They were on the radio to her every week and they even flew to Argentina and went to cape horn and flew around above the Pink Ella in a helicopter when she rounded the cape. Under the rules they could not touch and obviously the Pink Ella has no landing pad.
    You have to let the kids fly or you kill their dreams. That is why humanity is on this planet. To make a difference.

    Some parents are reluctant to let their children do "dangerous" things like this. But I always knew riding in the car to school was a risk so my kids started climbing mountains and skiing at a young age. They thank me for that childhood now.

    I'm so happy that things have had a happy ending to this story of a very courageous little gal. Congratulations on LOTD! ... and thank you for the Squid Angels blessing on my Caving Pictures lens that got LOTD on Monday, its a good feeling! This is a wonderful lens.

    Congrats on lens of the day. We were at her homecoming in Mooloolaba (her home port) - a week or so after she came into Sydney. The energy and excitement from the town was wonderful. She is our hero.

    Congratulations on LOTD! I think this young lady is courageous and mature, she should not be compared with the average 16 year old of this day and age.

    Congratulations on LOTD! What an amazing story. I believe that kids/teenagers can do amazing things. However, I'm not sure if I would allow my daughter to do something this dangerous. I can't imagine life without her. So, I think I am too selfish and would never forgive myself if something happened to her. Blessed! http://www.squidoo.com/horseandpony-squidangel

    Congratulations on your Purple Star and LOTD - I don't know if I could have watched my teenage daughter sail off like this, but bravo to Jessica for having the courage to tackle this journey, and to her parents for being able to let her follow this dream.

    Jessica is an amazing teenager. How young to do such an outstanding feat. Glad to hear she is safely home, though. It would make me nervous if it was MY teenager.
