It's good to hear that Abbey is alive, at least.

But, I just wanted to take this opportunity to say, "I told you so!"

My detractors, who disrespect my vast storehouse of sailing knowledge and
experience, attempted to pooh-pooh my earlier statement that Abbey had
too much boat and she'd probably end up being dismasted. Anybody can
Google my postings at the start of her hapless record attempt and see
where I made that statement.

You don't take a know-nothing, inexperienced, scatterbrained, teen girl
and put her entirely in charge of a forty-foot, fickle race boat around
the world and expect anything but trouble. Everybody knows the rigs on
these boats are too light and flimsy. Everybody knows a single-hander
must sleep, etc. where no eye is on the ship. The ship simply cannot be
expected to survive on her own. Stupid parents, stupid sailing team,
stupid weather routers, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Well, it turns out good old Wilbur was right again. When are you people
going to learn that you'd just better not doubt me? Huh? I can't hear
you.
