Default Teen to give up solo sailing dream

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.

No skill nor desire to sail in the southern ocean. Do you? When are you

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.

I'm certainly weak compared to men in general. I already told you I weight
1600 lbs., which means lethargy is the norm.

Why don't you have the money? It's not that expensive to buy a decent boat,
esp. these days. You certainly have the time, since you're unemployed. Oh
wait, now I know why you don't have the money. Never mind.
