I hope Abby changes her mind.

October, she can beat that. Perhaps ABC, CBS, MSNBC etc can pool
up some millions and give her another shot. One with a decent
mast.

Even if it doesn't cook a record, a once in a lifetime
opportunity...

A 16-year-old California girl who is adrift on her damaged yacht
in the Indian Ocean will probably give up on her dream of sailing
around the world alone.

Jeff Casher, the spokesman for Abby Sunderland's family, said
Friday the teen's boat is severely damaged and might be sunk at
sea instead of being towed ashore and salvaged.

Rescuers are en route to her location and hope to reach her
between midnight and 12:30 a.m. PT on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Sunderland wrote a blog entry about the rough
weather, saying "Wild Eyes was rolling around like crazy" in the
huge seas and she triggered her emergency beacons.

Searchers aboard a Qantas Airbus A330 spotted the teen's boat and
made contact with her via radio about 20 hours later, family
spokesman William Bennett said.

Sunderland had set sail from Los Angeles County's Marina del Rey
on Jan. 23 in an attempt to become the youngest person to sail
around the world alone without stopping. Her brother Zac briefly
held the record at age 17.

Sure.... keep tossing her out there until she is killed.
Or, if she does set the record, you can send a thirteen year old to
beat it next year.
Let's get EM to do it.


Certainly you and Nucknuck are incapable. Oh, I was talking about
sailing....


So was I. You Up for it?


Up for what... sailing around the world by myself? Not a chance.


So you're just going to sit there in your cabin with your cat. Booring!


No skill nor desire to sail in the southern ocean. Do you? When are you
leaving, because it would _demand_ a party!


I've owned 3 sailboats and enjoyed the hell out of the experiences .But, I
got sailing out of my system 30 years ago and have no desire to sail
again.

Why? Or, rather what got the sailing out of your system? Was it the
experience itself or was it the drudge part... maintenance, etc.?

Also, if you got it out of your system, why are you posting on rec.boats?
