Jessica has a Nasty Challenge!

Jessica Watson will skipper the youngest crew ever to compete in the Sydney-Hobart race.

She'll be sailing the Sydney 38 class boat Another Challenge.

"I'm told I need to get a bit nastier... our coach...says there are no please and thankyous and it's got to be 'now'."
The crew Cameron Dale, Genevieve Warlow and Mike Perham.

It's finally happened!!!

Much to my children's regret one of my friends has joined facebook,
soooooooooo I felt obliged to follow him.

This is going to be interesting.

What's the Big fuss about Laura?

I don't see it as such a big deal that Laura Dekker is a youngster.
She's going the safer way (wind and wave wise) anyway!

I would be daunted to do something like sail in the Southern oceans like Jessica Watson did.
The only worry for me would be that Atlantic bit if I was Laura.
I wish Laura all the best, it seems like she has the aptitude to do it.

Great Mates

Jessica Watson and Michael Perham met well before her adventure.

Here she is snuggling with him at Mooloolaba before her quest.

Don or Mike? Jessica is torn, lol.

Mike Perham has done a deal with the magazine Womans Day,

so according to this pic. at Manly they are on a lover's stroll, lol.

Jessica Watson sailed around the world.

All these photos were taken outside the Sydney Heads.

Just a walk in the park for our newest solo-circumnavigator. Here's a lovely shot of Jessica crossing the finish line and her parents are getting drenched at the rear of the media ferry, too funny☺☺☺

Bruce will see her first at sea level
