Hi everyone. I know you are all anxious to hear from Jess, but she's a little pre-occupied on her first day, so just a quick post to let everyone know that the departure went well this morning, officially passing the start/finish line at Sydney Heads at 9.49am. On behalf of all of our family, I would like to sincerely thank all those wonderful people who came out on the Harbour this morning and down to the marina to wish Jess well. The positive messages of support from not only Australia, but all around the world, has just been overwhelming and we are most grateful. I am sure you will hear from Jess soon.
Julie (Mum) for Jessica

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 654 Newer› Newest»Hey Jessica: Just read about what you're doing... all I can say is wow! And that, coming from a novelist, is a big compliment. Although I don't live in Sydney anymore, I called it home for a few years, and your story made me feel both nostalgic and proud. Good Luck!

Although I keep my adventures with both feet on the ground, I tend to think that with all the adversities you have coming on the open waters, there won't be anything that can stop spirit from achieving your goal.
All the best and I hope to be there when you sail back into Sydney.

Greetings and best wishes from Larchmont, New York, USA! Jessica, you're an inspiration to me. I'm 56 and just started sailing 2 summers ago. I bought a little Herreshoff 12 1/2 sailboat, and I took lessons all last summer. I'm thrilled and challenged just sailing around a large salt-water pond on Martha's Vineyard, so your 'round-the-world trip seems like a voyage to the moon in comparison. I'll be watching your blog with great interest, cheering you on the whole way. Courage, Jessica!
Paula, Larchmont, NY USA
Jessica, whenever it hurts, whenever you feel alone, whenever bad luck comes a bit too often: know that the whole world is watching you. You are an example for all the youngsters. Be brave but never fight a lost game.
I know, you will be succesfull and opening the gates for our Dutch girl who wants to do the same as you do.
Go girl.

Hello Mum!
Thanks for the update! I have no idea how hard it must have been to watch Jessica sail off into the horizon, or how hard it will be over the many months being seperated from Jessica. But this morning my prayers go out to you and your family for strength, courage, peace and confidence that Jessica is prepared and able to accomplish such a goal. I admire you for having so much love for your daughter to not only allow Jessica to pursue her dream, but work along side of her the whole way. The love you have shown is an example the whole world can learn from.
May God comfort you and surround you and your family with the warmth of His loving arms.

Good luck From Florida! I sailed the world once and remember the feeling of leaving the dock that morning. Excited, happy and sad at leaving friends.
My trip was much more lazy (taking 5 years) and I fell in love with Australia. I stayed until immigration said "no more extensions!" and booted me on my way. I'll be following your posts and rooting for you all the way. I have NO DOUBT that you will make it safely.

Your personal journey is inspiring the world Jess, at a time when it needs inspiration. I surmise your trip will not be easy. Never, ever, give up. Push the boundaries and succeed, you need to, and we need you to. T.S. Elliot wrote that only those who risk going going too far can possibly find out how far they can go. We'll see you back in Sydney...
Prayer from Angel Gabriel:
Dear Jess,
This Siham, an interior designer from the USA and mother of two.
I am originally from Morocco, the Land of Ibn Battuta, the famous world scholar and traveler.
(you probably know about him already)
I beleive sailing is not just a journey in the ocean, but one that takes you even deeper within your heart, soul, intellect and ultimate human capacities.
I always wanted to sail like you, but never had a boat. SO now I am sailing the world by plane :)
Please SMASH that record for me and for all of us who are amazed by this beautiful world and want to see it at large.
You are a role model to all the lost girls (and boys) in this world.
I wish I could have met you and wish you well before your departure, but I'll at least give you this Prayer from Angel Gabriel in case you need it:
Prayer of Angel Jibrail peace be upon him:
"O You Who Are The Light of the Heavens and the Earth,
O You Who Are the Beauty of the Heavens and the Earth,
O You Who Are the Support of the Heavens and the Earth,
O You Who Are the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth,
O You Who Are the Possessor of Majesty and Kindness.
O The One Who Hears the call of the callers,
O The One Who Helps the ones seeking help,
O The Last Resort of the seekers, and The One Who Frees the distressed,
and The Reliever of the sorrow-stricken,
and The Acceptor of the prayers of the afflicted,
and The Remover of afflictions, and The Greatest of the Merciful, and The One worshiped in all the worlds,
every need is presented to You,
O The Most Kind and The Most Merciful.
Ameen".
Sincerely with much love and admiration
Siham

Thanks for making my Jessica Watson yacht icon on my lap top come alive. I will be following you and also Saito-San as he continues his quest. You, Zac Sunderland and Mike Perham and Saito have and are providing this 80 year old retired sailor hours of vicarious excitement.
Safe journey and don't ever forget to keep that safety line tethered.
Good luck to you Jessica! It is always good to here about younger people who want to do more with their life than just play computer games, be 'surgically' attached to their cell phone, hang out at the mall and buy 'stuff' and the like! I hope you inspire a few more people to follow their dreams (regardless of age!). All the best to you, your family and team...:) Cathy (Brit living in Florida, pursuing her dream!)

Amazing adventure awaits ahead. Admirable! Regards from Dubai UAE.
Jessica have a nice trip, i'm sure you can do!!!!
I so admire Jessica for following her dreams. She is an example to all of us that you can do whatever you want to do if you just try. I live in North Carolina, USA and will be following her journey. I wish her the best of luck. I admire her family for allowing her to go after her dream. Too often people are held back and if you don't let them at least try and fail they will forever wonder what it would have been like if they had just tried. Hats off to her family and her country for allowing her to pursue her dream.
sending good vibes from Norway.
wish you all the best safe travel
In bocca al lupo, Jess!
Good Luck Jessica, wishing you succeed for this trip.

God bless you, Jessica, for doing what you dream of doing. You are an inspiration. When you feel lonely, know that you are never alone; we are all with you.
I'm a sailor wannabe...you're a sailor. Trust your intuition. Don't take unneccessary risks. Be successful. But, as these posts from around the world have told you, you already are successful.
God bless you and your family.
You're in my prayers,

Dear Jessica,
Never let them tell you that you are too young, too inexperienced, too naive. I am pleased with your bravery and continuous upright stride through adversary. As the world watches your bold journey there will be a generation that you will inspire. No matter the outcome remember that a journey that starts in the heart and is acted upon is by far the most fulfilling journey in itself.
"Higher than the mightiest waves,
Stronger than the fiercest winds,
God is greater than all of your problems."
Good luck Jessica!

Good luck, Jessica. To Mum: I'm sure you are, and will be incredibly anxious - it's a very brave thing you're doing, letting her go, and it's awesome to see parents willing to let their kids pursue their wishes. It's a good thing. We'll all be watching and praying. We wish her the best - your friends in Houston, Muyiwa.
Go Jess Go,
Live your dream and stay safe and well. I look forward to your blog and your safe return.
Best Wishes to the whole family.
