After a pretty shaky start to her venture she is proving her critics wrong.

well done jess

you betcha, not sure if I have the guts for that! seen the idiot box for the first time in months the other day where she sent back pictures of a massive pod of dolphins way out to buggery in the middle of the ocean, saying that she would be close to rounding the cape by now wouldn't she

I posted on this awhile ago , I wish i had the guts, id love to just sell my house ,buy my own moter home and live on the road ,do the lap once or twice...

poor little buggar must be lonely though!

Yeah, that's where all that strength of character stuff comes in, she's got bucketloads of it. To do that and know that no help is at hand when things get shirty, makes me realize how gutsy she is

While on Sunshine Coast last year, were lucky enough to watch Jessica setting out; it was great to see so many wishing her well, was a great sight. Unfortunately that first night was when she had her prang with the freighter; but yes she has certainly proved the critics wrong; heres hoping she can complete her journey safely.
