Yesterday, it was a thrill to see him come in. <br />I wish you well on your journey and will be glued to you blog. When do you plan on leaving as your website says you are leaving after your birthday which was months ago? <br />Thanks for making mention of it.<br /><br />Yours,<br />KGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-29627198616698892282009-07-18T00:40:41.081+10:002009-07-18T00:40:41.081+10:00Very very exciting Jessica I really hope you pull ...Very very exciting Jessica I really hope you pull it off, it would be so cool to beat two guys at their own game. I'm more tickled in that it would seem the cruiser yacht is the way to go, both you and Jesse Martin and Zac for that matter, have and are doing this in solid built run of the mill if you will good old cruisers, where purpose built race vessels seem to fail even if a fly should land on the sail. Unless of course if its brand spanking new and multiple millions are behind it.<br /><br />Yaaay to cruisers, the Land Rovers of the oceans.<br /><br />Can we get pink sails too what a statement that would be.<br /><br />Best of luck, we'll be following you all the way<br /><br />Sue McPherson and daughtersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-47763728927434557272009-07-17T23:11:26.969+10:002009-07-17T23:11:26.969+10:00To Anonymous at 3:32,

He will only hold the youngest part of the record until Mike Perham breaks it in a month or so because he is a few months younger than Zac. If Jessica completes her voyage at a younger age than Mike, which is possible, then she would be the youngest.<br /> If she is able to do it as planned, then it is a different catagory - non-stopped, unassisted.......<br /><br />Just to do what these young people have done and are doing is really the big deal. All the preparation, <br />support of family and friends, sponsors, endurance etc.... this is what it's all about. <br />Through the internet I have followed<br />Zac and Mike through their trials and triumphs and will now do the same with Jessica - I didn't know about their voyages until they were already underway. It is really nice<br />to start with Jessica in the preparation phase and follow her the<br />whole time.<br />Zac's motto has been "Do Hard Things"! That is what these amazing young people are doing!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Glenn<br />USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-11450405599840121222009-07-17T15:32:07.621+10:002009-07-17T15:32:07.621+10:00Aww...beaten before she can even start.

I really, really hope you get to do it.<br /><br />With that said, it is pretty obvious that Mike was personally more than up to the challenge but his boat wasn't. It is tragic that he didn't get to claim "single handed", "un-assisted" or "non-stop".<br /><br />The silver lining is that Mike still got to show what a truly great sailor he is. He also got to show that he was doing it because he enjoys it to the core. Finally Mike has shown that he is a gentleman and outstandingly good sportsman. What a role model !<br /><br />Soon it is Jessica's turn to go for it, but only after Mike rightfully claims the mantle of youngest solo circumnavigating sailor.<br /><br /><br />-SvenSven on Senta IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358967559748889822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-33626834433925491082009-07-16T09:12:02.042+10:002009-07-16T09:12:02.042+10:00Looking great young lady and waaa what a support t...Looking great young lady and waaa what a support team.

Going solo and unassisted and nonstop right round the world is in a completely different league all together and maybe it doesnt bug you but it bugs me when people talk about you and those two guys as if youre all doing the same thing. After Zac and Mike have finished Jesses record will still remain because those two guys werent unassisted and werent nonstop, and neither went around Cape Horn . Jessica what you are planning is MUCH more incredible and I think very few people realise what a massive challenge you have set yourself. You always need some luck but it looks like by the time you set sail you will have everything else you need, including a fantastic attitude and positive brave personality. I among many thousands will be following you every day and urging you on in our hearts.
