I'll keep this update even shorter but just letting you all know, if you havent already heard, that tomorrow is finally the big day. I'll be leaving the marina at around 0845 in the morning and clearing the Sydney heads soon after. The forecast is looking pretty positive and I'm just itching to get out there. I've had a nice final day fiddling round on Ellas Pink Lady and doing a little last minute packing with family and friends. Its hard to believe that the big day is almost here!!

OMG Jessica I'm SO excited for you! I have buterflies as I type this. I have your blog site bookmarked on my blog site, so i will check as often as I can (when we have internet). sending a big hug O and a Kiss X on Angel Wings.

Jessica,
The media makes it look like you seem obsessed with answering your critics. Forget them, this challenge is about you not them.
Any decision you make is about your progress to achieve your goal, not to prove anything to your critics.
I'm sure when you leave our shores the burden of satisfying critics will disappear, just as it did for those that went before you.
Your delays in waiting for the best window is an indication you are already showing survival skills, though the delays frustrate many of your supporters.
Hey Jess,
That must be the most amazing feeling! I hope you have the best sleep tonight. All the best for your journey and safe return to Australia.
Take care
Jules
Jessica!You are an inspiration to myself and my family>good luck in your journey and your life long dream..What ever the outcome you have already done many australians proud!Take it all in girl you are about to see the world from a place very few have seen before!myself and my family wish you sunny days and calm seas but being a sailor myself know this can not always be the case.love the Andersons.xx
Be safe, be smart and succeed with a smile. Enjoy all your little victories along the way and congratulations on already being a success.

Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip Jess, you prove the critics wrong, will follow your trip from start to finish.
GO FOR IT!!! :-)
A Sailors blessing for you;
"May the Lord fill our sails with fair wind, support our hulls in inviting seas, guide our hands upon the tiller toward pleasant places and bring us home, O Lord, to a safe and loving harbor."

I really hope that everything goes smoothly and I will be praying for your safety and success.
Dear Jess,
it sounds like you had a great day today being farewelled by family and friends. About time Sydney turned on a decent day's weather. Lately it has been reminding me too much of Wellington NZ where I was born. Can't wait to move to Cairns FNQ!
I plan to be at Clontarf Reserve jumping up and down and waving madly when you set sail tomorrow morning, and if I can get there in time, North Head also for that one last glimpse and a photo of Ella's Pink Lady.
Bon voyage,
Pete B

We can't wait either Jessica. We just know you are full of butterflies and sleep probably isn't easy. We are all behind you all the way. You go girl!

Good luck and all the right decisions on your journey.
Enjoy!

Have a great trip Jessie, all the way. I'll be keeping track of you on my computer in Macau. Don't forget some fishing tackle!
Hey Jessica, it seems you have already found your personal legend, just like in "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho!
If this adventure is your legend, then I wish you all the strengh, power and faith to fullfil it. And whatever awaits you, you will master it! Good luck out there, living your personal legend! I'll send you some thoughts and energy once in a while. Go out and make history, Jessica!

Dear Jessica,
«Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

GOOD LUCK JESS.AUSTRALIA HAS MANY HEROES AND I AM SURE WE ARE SEEING ANOTHER ONE.ENJOY.YOU ARE TOO LONG OLD.
Hi, Jess, i love you for what you are doing - it's the sort of thing I wanted to do at your age but I didn't fight hard enough to give myself the chance! If you achieve this record, some of us will know that the biggest obstacles you overcame were thrown at you by people and culure, not Nature. The months ahead may be lonely and cruel, but you will finally be truly free, as only women who walk out of the common ways know freedom.
Have you read Robyn Davidson's 'Tracks'? Brilliant book by a woman who understands.
I wish you courage and joy and all good things for many years to come,
Kath Cantarella XX
Bon Voyage, Jessica,

Jessica, I teach 30 yr 7 students and we will be watching your adventure and using you as an inspiration to get to where we want to go in life.
Good luck on your epic journey - you are a wonderful role model and a great Australian. Be safe, return in triumph and thumb your nose at the critics who said it couldnt be done!! Helen Y
Well done and every success to you Jessica. No-one should tell you what you know. I'm inspired by you.
Best Wishes Jessica and God speed.
Keep "Pink Lady" moving.
At least you will be able to ask the age old question over and over without annoy the hell out of anyone,
"ARE WE THERE YET?"

Good Luck Jessica. Go girl and prove everyone wrong. Be safe and come back home and do youeself proud
Looking at the AIC Jessica, your current speed of 1.2kts may see you back here a little later than 8 months! I hope the wind picks up shortly. Have a good sail and will come out to say hello when your off the south coast next year (or the year after if the wind doesn't pick up).
Hi Jessica
Fair winds and following seas for your quest. I really admire your courage and determination.
Just been watching you depart Sydney - everything looking fantastic. I feel so envious. Have a great time and look forward to seeing you back in Sydney. Will try and be there to watch you enter the Heads!!!
Good on ya Jessica. Ur the type of girl I wish there more of. Good luck and hope u make it round the world
Good luck and stay safe. We'll be following you from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Cheers,

Good luck Jessica, I'll be checking your blog/ progress often
Magpie here,
Hi Jessica,
It won't be the same not seeing the pink yacht in that idylic Middle harbour setting.
I'm hanging out for the 60 minutes show tonight and at the same time you'll be watching that wonderful night sky. Hooroo.
Bon Voyage!
Fair winds and following seas Jess.
Girl, you rock! big time.
Nothing great has ever been achieved without persistence and risk. Neither has anything of value been attained without the negative of the arm chair critics.
Age has nothing to do with it. You have the strength of an S&S, tried and tested vessel. You have knowledge and character.
You have made us very proud of you, so go on and get on with the most life changing experience you could set for yourself. Show the world what Ausrtalians are made of

God speed you back home safely. Old Trout.
Hi Jesse,
When I first heard of you and your plans, I have to admit I wondered why.
I stood on the Spit bridge at 9am this morning and I couldn't help feeling overwhelmingly proud and excited. I wish you calm seas, good winds and a fantastic journey.
I look forward to the day you sail back into Sydney harbour, I'm already planning to be there to welcome you back. Watching you this morning and even writing on this blog now has made me a stakeholder in your journey and I know you will succeed.
So many things in the world seem conventional, normal and important
Hello Jess -
Have been thinking about you all morning - I also sail, a 30 footer, & will be awaiting your updates and photos. Best of luck :)
Congratulations and happy sailing Jessica... Stay safe and have a wonderful time...

Just wanted to let you know that your an inspiration for so many and I hope my children grow up to be just like you and for them to know that when you set a GOAL FOR YOUR DREAM THEN ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Safe Sailing,
CB & Family - Sunshine Coast.
I was out there yesterday near the heads sailing in the gusty winds thinking of you the whole time. Have a terrific sail, I think what your doing is truly awesome and just like Kay, a great thing for all women sailors. May Neptune be looking after you.

Jessica,
I've advised your critics that the Earth is round, not flat, and you won't go over the edge.
The good news is that they are rapidly disappearing and your journey has begun.

You've probably been given more than enough advice but I thought you might enjoy this poem which has always helped me when times get tough, even if it was written 100 years ago. Of all the challenges I face, it is the mental ones which challenge me the most.

IF.....
by Rudyard Kipling
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Hi Jessica. I am confident that you will achieve your objective. May you have fair winds and following seas.
Stay clipped on.

Jessica, you are already a winner.
This is your journey and your life, get out there and enjoy it!
We will follow your path with great interest each day. Know that there are so many of us who wish you all the best and send love and strength to you. Take care of yourself first, the rest will take care of itself.

May God be with u, hoping you can make it a safer and enjoyable trip and get back whit the pride you make us feel, butmany peopple askin this:
Are u doing this for yourself, your parents,or money??.
we hope you are doing this for your own self-improvement but if is money involved are you thinking on "cash in" as everyone thinks, or give it all on charity as the real great lady u are?
Once again we wish you a very safe and enjoyable trip and a come back home with the pride strength you already are showing
Hi Jessica, pretty sure that Mother Nature takes yachting as one of her favorite sports and she will give you the best weather possible! Enjoy every single moment and return safely home! Radek, Prague (Czech Republic)
hello jess, hope all goes well and I admire your courage. I fear the ocean, to many things in there which I can handle....

Good luck and everything but I'm pretty sure Magellan already did this like 500 years ago.
I did not see a single post criticising her voyage, but note that all comments must be approved if they are to appear - is there a connection?
It makes far better reading for all, if all sides get a go (within reason of course).
Just wanted to say goodluck, hope everything goes as planned. Just read about your trip on a swedish site and had to wish you the best. You are a very inspiring young lady :)
Good luck Jessica!
Good Luck Jessica!

Hi Jessica,
Wow, what amazing courage and determination you have at such a young age. It is a great gift to have the guts to make your dreams come true. Your family must have great ties and a huge trust in you to let you do this before you are 18. I bet a lot of people all over the world will be following your achievment, and keeping their thumbs for your goal to be completed and for you to return safely.
The best of luck, and keep safe!
Best regards,
Annett in Helsingborg, Sweden
This was great news to read, and I hope you succeed Ms. Watson.
I believe many people restrict the talents of others, especially when it pertains to age. Prime example would be Akrit Jaswal, would performed a major operation at the age of 7.
Stay in high spirits, listen to good music, enjoy every site you see, have fun and number one ... Safety First!

All the best from Denmark. You can make it!!!!!
From a random kid in America,
I heard this story and literally had my breath taken away, i can't even imagine the kind of catharsis you might have on a trip like that. I hugely admire what you're doing and wish you the best of luck (which i think you're bound to have). I'm sure that for the next eight months i'll be following this website a little too dilligently. You'll do great, I'm sure, and find a kind of maturiry few people our age can imagine.
Best wishes (again),

But, for your safety, bravery and whatever that dosen't come to mind now.............god bless and may the angel's be there for when in need.............and like your parents...........may the person above be with you till your HOME SAFE.
