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.
