I bet you really can't wait to See It. Sorry I haven't been able to manage to contact anyone along your planned route that might happen to sight you so I could get them to take some photos and E-mail them to me so that I could forwred them on to your team and place them on (Your) Facebook Fan Club, but you never know, it still might happen.<br /><br />Bye for now,<br /><br />Have a Safe and Happy Trip, But Most Of All HAVE FUN !!!<br /><br /> " You CAN And WILL Do It Jessica Watson !!!

You are an inspiration and have helped me to enjoy sailing and living aboard my yacht much more - to look at its unique challenges more in the positive rather than the negative. <br /><br />Good luck getting around the Cape - I know you'll make it safely. <br /><br />:D Cerae from yacht Anhinga (QLD)Ceraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990647207564819787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-64347976384302974422010-01-10T20:28:38.768+10:002010-01-10T20:28:38.768+10:00come on this becalmed has bin here for ages what a...come on this becalmed has bin here for ages what about land hoe.....more photos please Jessica we dont want to get bored we want excitemente she wrote,,,,,lol Bernie 777bernie777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-15948720516510863982010-01-10T14:21:31.406+10:002010-01-10T14:21:31.406+10:00your doing a great job jess,

You are doing so well and your courage and bravery is a great inspiration to many Australians. Whilst I've never baked anything in my life, when you successfully complete your trip and safely arrive back in Australia, I'm going to bake some "humble pie" for all those negative people and knockers to eat, those who said you wouldn't make it. You go girl ... you're a champion and you're going to make it.

That is bitterly cold for us.
