Jessica Watson Solo Sailing Stories Journey

Jessica's sailboat "Ellas Pink Lady", left port from Sydney Australia and leaving behind the chatter of peoples opinions, sailing into her youthful future filled with new territory to concur.

She has kept her focus on her sailing journey that will take her further than she ever dreamed. Jessica Watson solo sailing stories and the group below traditionally verify and record sailing accomplishments.

The record she is going to beat may not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council (WSSRC), for being the youngest to sail non-stop and unassisted round the world sailing trip.

Jessica Watson solo sailing stories brought a wide range of opinions to the surface from the bottom of the sea. Like floating debris that gets caught in your propeller and tries to hold your vessel back.

People came out of the wood work telling her she was too young, a girl, inexperienced and so many other things.

I do not want to give anymore ground to negative opinions. In a day and age where you are hard pressed to find a role model for our youth, her solo journey at her young age is note worthy.

Jessica has proven she is hungry for more than a video game, well trained for her age, willing to go out into the ocean in a raging sea, storm to find that new ground. She is staking claim and set sail, shaking off the titles of peoples opinions that would stop most of us in our tracks.

I am so grateful to be able to create, build these webpages so I can try to make a difference. To give her an encouraging word!

Lets start over with a clean slate not taking the wind out of her sails. These pages are here to revive Jessica Watson on her solo sailing journey. No matter what, her sailing stories she will have are tremendous for her being sixteen years old.

Jessica will arrive back at her homeport in Australia with a new vessel...I'm not talking about the thirty four foot pink sailboat she used to sail in. Her adventure bootcamp will be the thing, to bring out her character.

A new vessel filled with strength, courage, tenacity to finish, accomplishments. She would have no way of knowing what was inside her until she endured the storm.

What foundation to build off of, teenage sailing, beating the odds, sailing into her future.

This webpage was built so the boating, sailing community can keep up to date with her achievements.

I would like to encourage you to be apart of being the wind in her sail and give her encouraging words to push her forward. It's important for us to focus and undergird as a community.
