Most people spend their entire lives wishing they had. You are such an inspiration! On your Nov. 5 blog you said that you had some water leaks and that thankfully, they are not serious. Can you tell us where these leaks are located? Maybe this can be of help to future sailors. God bless you and your family!<br /><br />Pete, U.S.AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-70492481994308782009-11-06T05:13:24.010+10:002009-11-06T05:13:24.010+10:00hey, i was learning about you in our English class...hey, i was learning about you in our English class today Ur amazing. we were all just wondering how do you have a shower :s but anyways good luck to you and i hope you complete the journy!!<br />have fun..xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-67161273169342437732009-11-05T17:29:16.675+10:002009-11-05T17:29:16.675+10:00Bring me back a mermaid,I trust u will succeed in ...Bring me back a mermaid,I trust u will succeed in fulfilling my request..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-67347321670441267712009-10-31T01:43:35.497+10:002009-10-31T01:43:35.497+10:00Good on you Jess, keep upp the good work and you´l...Good on you Jess, keep upp the good work and you´l be around the globe in no time.<br />Tomas from SwedenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-24985691017058552682009-10-30T13:06:18.085+10:002009-10-30T13:06:18.085+10:00do you think you'll make it in 8 months or do ...do you think you'll make it in 8 months or do u think it will take longer or quicker?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-8766845266490895352009-10-29T22:06:39.128+10:002009-10-29T22:06:39.128+10:00Hi Jess

Enjoy the experience as you are one lucky girl.

I left a long comment yesterday -- i...Hi, Jessica,<br /><br />I left a long comment yesterday -- it's somewhere between 350 and 400 on this list, I'd say -- which included 6 questions, in case you run low on things to write about in 6 months or so. I thought of another one later, so I'll add it to the list (in case your support team, who are actually reading all this, are keeping a list).<br /><br />(7) (Continuing numbers from the comment before) What do you do about time, about the settings on your clocks onboard? In Jules Verne's novel Around The World In Eighty Days, the hero wins his wager because, without realizing it, he had picked up a full day by traveling west to east, and had arrived home a day earlier than his meticulous records indicated. (This requires us to believe that he crossed the US and arrived in Britain without ever looking at a newspaper or calendar or otherwise becoming aware of what day it was, but that's fiction for you.) You'll be doing the same thing he did, picking up a day because you pass through all the time zones. But how do you handle that? Will you reset your onboard clocks 24 times during the voyage? Do the clocks somehow sense when they cross a time zone line and reset themselves? You can't use GMT like the space station because you need to be aware of local sunrise and sunset. So what do you do?<br />I'm glad to hear you made it through the first heavy weather successfully and are making good progress (per your next entry after this one).<br /><br />Michael from Texas, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-2109449409645179202009-10-29T10:53:29.022+10:002009-10-29T10:53:29.022+10:00Jessica, You are living a special dream..
