Anyone else gotten hooked on following Donna Lange's adventures?

www.donnalange.com

She posts an email and updated position from her boat about as often as she
changes sails so it's a great vicarious sailing hit for those of us icebound
up here in the north.

Setting out from her layover port near Cape Horn, she faced a long coastal
sail along one of the most notorious coasts on earth. Sleep and changing
winds got the better of her and she awoke to a bump having sailed straight
into South America. Fortunately, the seaweed was thick enough to prevent
damage although it made backing off a mite difficult.

Somebody's got to be looking out for this gal. She sails her 28 footer
through the roaring 40's, hardly ruffling her hair while a 44 foot steel
boat costing probably a hundred thousand more gets trashed nearby. Then she
runs around on a wilder and more dangerous spot than most of us could ever
hope to see and just bounces off!

I sure wouldn't recommend this as a "what to do and how to do it" site but
it sure is entertaining, the more so for being in almost real time.

She's pretty well out into the open South Atlantic now so I'm breathing a
sigh of relief for her.
