Hi my name is Jacc Simpson. I go to ...Dear Jessica<br /><br />Hi my name is Jacc Simpson. I go to Armadale Senior High School in WA. I am 15. I heard about your dream on the News when you crashed Ella's Pink lady into a bull carrier just off the cost off the coast of Brosbane. I am only writting this letter becouse of my English class. We are following your trip. We have read your blogs that you have written and I think you are very courageous.<br /><br />At Scholl we have talked about what you are attempting to do and I dissagree with every one else in my class. They think you should stayed at home, all safe and sound. But I think you should live your dream and travel the world solo, with out stopping.<br /><br />I have read a fair few other blogs about why you should have stayed at home and a couple say that you are not experienced enough to travel the world becouse you have not saild before with or with out a crew on long distance.<br /><br />As for me your dreams are totally different to mine. I would love to travel the world but it would be with the one i love and it wouldnt be on a 34 foot yacht. It would rather be either on a cruise or by plane.<br /><br />I believe you can do it but how are you going to survive without any long distance experience? What made you think about doin your dream at a young age. I would hope you live but you need to remember to turn your fatigue on and to turn your radar on so you can watch out for other boats.<br /><br />On your journey around the world we hope that you will make it home safe and sound without a scratch on you. Thank you for reading this and i hope you will write back and i will write back.<br />Thanks<br /><br />Jacc Simpson<br /><br />p.s <br /><br />me and my best mate kyle think you are hotjacc simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129405501405952173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-17568796413590102562009-11-03T16:59:21.938+10:002009-11-03T16:59:21.938+10:00Hay Jessica Watson :P

But my dad would like me to be in the house decorating business that would be cool but that’s not in the fashion industry.<br /><br />When I first saw you I was gobbed smacked I thought if someone else could follow there dreams so could I. anyone can do anything!<br /><br />I have a few Questions to ask you:<br />How did you get the Idea to sail around the world?<br /><br />How did your family react when you told them?<br /><br /><br />I would like to hear from you after your journey to see how you fulfilled you dream.<br /><br />I would like to thank you for giving the inspiration to pursuit my dreams<br /><br /><br />Yours truly <br /> Shanni :)~Shanni~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01361710153018348043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-26861848290636682532009-11-03T16:53:31.927+10:002009-11-03T16:53:31.927+10:00Dear Jess,

My name is Daniel Watson I am 13 an...Dear Jessica <br /><br />My name is Daniel Watson I am 13 and I go to Armadale Senior High School in Western Australia. How are you going? There has been a lot of talk about you not having enough experience and you being too young to sail around the world. At least your parents let you go on such a long trip on your own. My parent’s won’t even let me go three suburbs away. I know about your trip through my teacher Mrs Jury but I first learnt about your trip over the channel Ten News. <br /><br />On your vessel (Ella’s Pink Lady) what is there to do? How do you keep yourself entertained? I mean I wouldn’t last six weeks with nothing to do but jobs, cooking and sleeping. I would go insane.<br /><br />Mrs Jury is asking us to write a letter to you so we get interested and follow your journey. If you are doing what you want to do and not what somebody tells you to do then who cares what other people think. I mean if you do what somebody is telling you to do all your life then what is the point of living<br /><br />Any way I hope you have a good trip, have fun and enjoy yourself and I hope you make it!!!<br /><br />Good Luck<br /><br />From Daniel Watsondaniel watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530599310380119284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-7314458980737654622009-11-03T00:33:31.146+10:002009-11-03T00:33:31.146+10:00I wish you goodluck, stay safe greetings from swed...I wish you goodluck, stay safe greetings from sweden<br /><br />- LukasLukas Swedenhttp://www.stun-game.tknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-36061145828577600082009-11-02T07:30:39.835+10:002009-11-02T07:30:39.835+10:00Hi Jessica, enjoying reading your logs.

Please keep blogging, so we can all sail along vicariously. <br />I was intrigued by your mentioning bread making. Can you elaborate? I mean, I can’t imagine you actually kneading doe in between navigating, trimming, blogging and what have you. At first I thought of a bread maker, but surely that would use too much power. ???<br />BTW: Does your main have lazyjacks? I think they’re a great help if you’re sailing alone and need to act quickly.<br />Keep going Jesse!

(11amEDT 26/...Weather (0000UTC 26/oct/2009)<br /> (11amEDT 26/oct/2009)<br /><br />There is a Low pressure system forming <br />along the west-coast of New Zealand pushing a Low pressure trough further north east and in behind Ella's pink lady.The High pressure system that was with Jessica for most of last week is now surrounded by an increasing number of Lows in the Tasman and also further North in the Tropic of capricorn.<br /><br />These are excellent conditions for Ella's pink lady with winds at various speed,ranging from 10 knots to 25 knots, being strongest in between High and Low pressure systems. Waves are about 2-3m.<br /><br />The skipper of Ella's pink lady can now basically choose from various strategies to make the best use of these various developing High and Low pressure systems<br /><br />In the southern hemisphere,winds around a Low pressure system turn clockwise<br />and winds around a High pressure system turn anti-clockwise.<br /><br />learn more about the weather:<br />http://www.bom.gov.au/lam/Students_Teachers/pressure.shtml<br /><br />when High and Low pressure systems are next to each other,powerful winds are created in between those systems,as can be seen by the narrowing of isogonal lines or isobars on the synoptic chart.<br /><br />the latest synoptic chart:<br />http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/national/charts/synoptic.shtml<br /><br /><br />Dear Jessica, wishing you a great day of sailing and may Ella's pink lady find the best winds to fill her sails.<br /> <br /><br />gustav (pilot-navigator)<br />http://www.redbaron.com.augustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533188192654931755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-36125957526295047262009-10-26T11:07:08.430+10:002009-10-26T11:07:08.430+10:00xtY here again :]
