I just can't say how great everyone here has been. AME boat building have been completely fantastic! It's not hard to stay positive surrounded by such great people.
At this point we're aiming to have Ella's Pink Lady back in the water and ready to go again towards the end of next week.
I've just realised that I've never posted a picture of Ella's Pink Lady completely finished. So, here goes . . .
Looking totally stunning the day we sailed out of Mooloolaba!And also, here's a picture taken after the collision.
Motoring into the Southport seaway, not looking too pretty but holding our heads high.

OH MY GOSH!!! THIS HAS TO BE THE COOLEST THING EVER!! WOAHH!! YOU GO GIRL!
Surely a high-visibility profile.
dear Jessica, please tell all folks around you and Ella´s PINK LADY a big praise from the opposite side of the globe for all they are doing for you.
Many regards from Germany, Marcus Schormann
I´m glad to hear that the repairs go smoothly. The support you receive ist amazing. And a good thing it´s that way, because otherwise it would have been surely a serious showstopper.
Your ship is a beauty, but pink..cough :-))
Very cool boat - I love it!

Beautiful picture!
It's a great demonstration of your character that you are so able and ready to get back up after being knocked down. Remember, if it was easy, than it wouldn't be worth doing.

Not to be mistaken - wow how pretty she is.

I've heard that Pink does repel Pirates, so it should certainly work from long distances to keep you safe
Thanks for the great pic! It really shows how hard you got hit by that freighter when one compares the images.

Great news but, Never A Doubt!She does look so prerrrty!!
It won't be long. Best to ya.
I have been watching the website and blog for sometime and wishing you luck from Camano Island, Washington, USA!!
Hi, Jessica,
A remarkable recovery! By statistics, you don't need to worry about being hit by another ship for years to come. That's the silver lining! :)

i have to laugh when i see Ella's Pink Lady,only because when i think of Mike Perhams boat and how it was so state of the art and engineered to fly around this world with all the newest materials known to man. In yet here is this Pink lady looking like a floating beauty salon but will have an harder task to complete. Going around the world non stop with no assistance and having to use the capes. Wow what a shocker that will be for the designers of Mikes boat. I sure hope you show all those guys how it is done Jessica. Cheers
Jess,
I was watching you as you left the spit on your great journey.
My wife Monette and I wish you all the best.We will be following you around the world.When you return you will be even more famous I hope you will allow me to paint your portrait for the Archibauld. when you get back.

Hey Jessica and the team, may be unnessary but what about the idea to install a so called sailor-light
near the top end of the mast. Means a red on top a green light which identifies you as a boat on sails. From my past as a seaman i can say the usual positionlights of a sailing boat are to near to the deck, so recognize them from a freighters brigde can be difficult.
The idea might be a plus of visibilety.
Many regards so far, Marcus Scormann from Germany
Good luck. I hope you prove the naysayers wrong. BTW can you post details of your sailing knife?m
Oh goodness..and I worry about my daughter if she is late getting home from work!!
God speed.

Dear Jessica, I wish you all the best on each journey, which leads you to the goal.
Have a beautiful time round the blue earth :-)
