Thanks for all the Support

I’ll keep this short as it’s a pretty busy time at the moment, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been offering their support, luck and best wishes. Thanks to everyone for commenting on my blogs, sending emails and to the constant stream of people stopping by Ella's Pink Lady, bringing gifts and letters. I’m not doing a very good job of remembering everyones names! But have to say how lucky I am to have the chance to meet so many interesting people. Its pretty special to meet so many people of all ages who are so totally inspired by the voyage and what I am setting out to achieve!

So we are all working away at last minute things, checking that nothing has been forgotten or left undecided. I’m staying pretty relaxed (but definitely very excited!) surrounded by family, friends and my absolutely totally amazing team.
Thanks everyone!

Jessica

Jessica,
I have read all your blogs and can see all the preparaton and hard work that you have put into this undertaking. (Down to x-raying the rudder post, keel bolts, etc, etc). The combination of your dinghy racing skills and a wellfound S&S yacht is a winning combination. Add to this a great support team and you are as set as you can be. Best of luck on your voyage!

I wish you the best of luck!

My 4th grade students asked me to ask you what "nonstop" means? Does this mean you will never anchor anywhere, or pull up to a marina for some fuel or a candy bar? They would love to hear more about your plans!

Closed Blog said...

Jess, I will be with you all the way. My daughter has twice sailed a new yacht from Sydney to Mackay and I was anxious all of the way.

You are doing now what I flunked 50 years ago. So Go for it, good luck and God bless you.

Keep up the blogs- I check at least 4 or 5 times a day to see if there is anything new happening.
All the best in you venture. I hope that you get time to post your position (long. and lat.) on a regular basis so we can all follow your trip in detail.
You may be too young to need it but I never leave port without my staminade in case of cramp!!

Be safe and be happy, but most of all, HAVE FUN!

Great to catch up with you today Jessica! The yacht's looking amazing! Just a few more days... hope you're lapping up the simple joys of sand between your toes, the smell of the good old eucalyptus trees... =P
You're an inspiration! All the best...

John W. Furst said...

I just heard about your adventure on Twitter. Good luck with it.

Will you be able to blog, tweet while you are on your way around the World?

I live at the ocean, water as something fascinating, but also something scary to it.

Once again,
Good luck.

Yours

It was good to meet you and your mum at the boat last weekend. I'm glad to hear that other people have been coming past to offer support and gifts, not so many to weigh the boat down I hope! Keep us up to date on when your departure date is. Fair winds and safe sailing.

Blundoon said...

Dear Jess,
it was great to hear your interview today on WSFM (Sydney 101.7) with Jonesy and Amanda, and the recent TV coverage of your spin around Sydney harbour with Jesse Martin. I notice that he has been supporting your quest for some time and I agree with his comment that you are already a champion. I really don't think he will mind if you smash his record! You nearly had him with the arm wrestle, and by the time you get back your arms will be so strong...!

I am really interested in the electrical side of your yacht - obviously a 12v system - and look forward to any info that you may have time to share during quiet moments at sea - e.g. does your Yannmar diesel have an alternator in case the windgenny and solar panels fall behind in charging your house battery(s). I'd love to know the brand of battery too, but you may not be able to comment on that for commercial reasons. My mates who race cars use Odyssey - built to military specs.

Like all the other bloggers, I m really looking forward to you setting sail, but then again you can stay in Sydney as long as you like - we love you!

Cheers,
Pete B

trentgs said...

What a contradiction.."I’m staying pretty relaxed (but definitely very excited!). It must be a wild emotional ride hoping you have extra fix it kits and duct tape. Are you taking extra sails? I have a virtual sailing program that I thought I may be able to plot your planned course on and then tick the nautical miles off as you trek. I'm gonna look at it and see if its possible!

I know you gotta be having a hard time keeping it all in, but in reading between the tines it sounds like you are anxious to get underway too. We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers..Jess-Be safe..Be Happy..and be Blessed.

Hi Jess

We wish you all the best for a very safe return .It won't be easy but then life wasn't meant to be easy.
Just keep your goal in view at all times.

One question please,
Is it possible to be able to track your journey on Google Earth updated say every half hour or so.
We could watch the progress of Sydney Hobart yacht race this way. This adds more reality to picture where you are.

You sound like a very capable young lady and wish you the best on your journey you have in front of you. I know their will be times during rough weather you'll think you're nuts coming up with this goal, but remember when you finish the trip the personal rewards will be with you the rest of your life. The next time you struggle with something in your life you can always look back at what you did and say "Hey! I survived a trip around the world I can survive anything."

Magpie here,
I hope you don't have to use a sea anchor!! That part of Kay Cottee's exploits really opened up my eyes to what going around in the South seas is all about.
You must be buzzing now with all the afternoon comps starting up in the harbour.

Wow- you are such an inspiration!! So many people go through life too afraid to live their dreams- there are things holding them back like doubts or other people who would rather you didn't leave them behind in their own dreamless world. You're amazing, because first of all, you're only 16. To have such a PASSION so early in life that cannot be doused by ANYONE is such an amazing gift! What you're doing is setting your life up to be one of ADVENTURE and true LIVING! Anyone with doubts or qualms about what you are setting out to do truly mustn't understand what its like to have true PASSION and LOVE for something you do!
You're a true INSPIRATION for EVERYONE who dreams big. Thankyou for being you! Thankyou setting an example to the world, that we really can 'follow our dreams', no matter who tries to hold us back.

May Love and Light go with you on your voyage, and may your PASSION and ENTHUSIASM be a beacon to those of us who wish to accomplish our own dreams.

May your Voyage be Safe and full of new CHALLENGES and EXPERIENCES which you will conquer with your steadfast PASSION and DETERMINATION!!

Love, Light, Hope, and many, many THANKS going with you. :)

Go Jessica!!! We met you last Sunday and wished you luck at The Spit Marina (you probably don't remember us as you had many visitors that day). We look forward to hearing of your amazing journey - you will go down in history! Good luck and good health. Above all - enjoy this incredible adventure - that's what life is all about. love, Jane and Scott.

Mike said...

Hello Jessica! I pray things continue to go well for you and your team during your final preparations! I can understand your excitement and anticipation of getting under way. Before a race, I was always wound up pretty tight with emotions and thinking about what lies ahead, but once you get strapped in and get going, a calmness overrides and you can begin to focus. We have followed your route discription and with the help of Google Earth, traced it out on a map of the world so we can follow your progress. We will be praying for you daily!
One comment about all the great people you have met: Certainly this voyage is the challenge of a life time, an it is wonderful how far you and your team has come, and getting this far is a victory all by itself! But at the end of the day, what matters most is the relationships you have made and the lives that have been touched through your adventure. I am so happy to see that you have cherrished the encounters with the numerous people you have met!
God be with you!

Hi Jessica
I am in a small town in Central Jersey USA right near the Atlantic Ocean. I do a walk each morning and will send out good energy from the wind and the sea to you on your voyage.
Right now we are in the beginning of a nor'easter and that is better here than where you are.

GOOD LUCK

Dear Jess,

it's so important to follow your dream and I wish you all the best, a safe trip, lucky winds and concentration and staying power in dangerous situations.

I can imagine one mayor problem at sea is being on your own, so listen to music as much and as often as you can because it will make you feel better (at least I hope).

Stay calm and focused, keep in mind that you have so many people behind you!

Christiane

Hey Jess,
Go for your dream and don’t let anyone bring it down no matter what anyone says, you can do it, whatever comment some stupid person makes about you and you don’t believe it just put t behind you keep on trying because as many people want you to go for it and succeed. Many people have dreams so why is it so dreadful for you to pursue yours. If Jesse Martin can do it you can do it, go for your life!!!!
Love from Shannon
P.S. I would never doubt that you couldn’t do it Just like hundreds of other people.

Hey Jess
I saw the interview on The 7pm Project. Just wanted to thank you for helping me believe in myself again. Life is too short. I'm going to Nepal next year and climbing Mera Peak (6476m).

Take care always Jess. Wish you the best of luck. Don't worry what anyone else says. You're a responsible young adult now, and you make your own decisions.

Russell. said...

Well. Here we are back in Brisbane again. We had to cut our trip to Sydney short due to work commitments. But at least we got to see the yacht and have a few short words to you. We also listened to conversations you were having with other people.

We think you have your head screwed on right Jess. We think your more mature for your age than most others of a similar age.

Advice: GO GO GO girl! And when you get back home you'll be able to thumb your nose at all those who said you couldn't/shouln't do it.

Best of luck and smooth sailing Jess. I know it's a very serious voyage, but don't forget to have some fun along the way ok? :-)

Dear Jessica,
I just read that you are leaving on Sunday!
I am so excited for you. Reading all the messages of people wishing you well, brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I have never been a follower, but I feel such kinship with you, because you inspire me to live my own dreams!
My next years goals are rock climbing and a rope's course (I am afraid of heights).
This year at 62 I learned to play tennis from scratch, I had never played before and am able to play games, that are also satisfactory to my partners!
Your focus in realizing your dream has inspired me to follow my own, This is such a gift!
My thoughts of wellbeing and thanks for keeping your focus go to you, your family and your support team.

Aas an older sailor I was trying to think of "One Tip" you could take with you. And then it came to me. "Remember that most people go over board in fair weather as they become relaxed and complacent". Usually, its ok because the boat is turned around by the crew and there are no ramifications. In your case you have no crew. So remember not to be complacent on good days. Stay safe and all the best!

I never thought I, who is over 50, would have a hero who is only 16 years old. But I do now. I fully support you and your family in your adventure. The ocean scares the hell out of me, so I have all the respect and awe of those that sail it. But especially so for those that do it alone and even more so for those that are young. YOU GO GIRL.

Hi Jessica, I am so excited to hear that you are setting off tomorrow morning! You must be relieved and a little anxious after so much planning and thinking about what it will be like out there. You are a real inspiration and I'm so proud of you. I wanted to let you know that you, Roger, Julie, and the whole family are in my thoughts. Sail safe and see you when you get home!

I don't expect you'll read this tonight. I just heard you have chosen tomorrow as your departure date, so I imagine you'll spend some quiet time with your family then TRY to get some sleep. (good luck trying to sleep.) lol. ;-)

Things are going to get tough out there Jess. You'll have good days and days that you'll be wondering why the bloody hell did I do this. It's important during those bad days to think a little about all your supporters back here in Australia and the amazing greeting you'll have to look forward to when you sail back through the heads.

We wish you all the luck in the word dear. Be safe and have fun.

May nothing lay in your wake but realized goals, and nothing on your bow but the adventure of realizing more one day at a time. The open ocean is one thing I miss from my Navy days, the way the ship would pitch and roll had a calming effect on me that has never come back. And always I had a feeling of protection from past sailors unknown to me, still today they watch over all who dare venture into unknown reaches and find themselves looking into the water to see themselves looking back. Live the dream young lady, you took advantage of an oppertunity few would have the courage to undertake. God Bless, Scott
