No doubt everyone has heard of this sailing woman called Jessica Watson. It is quite a task she took, sailing for 7 months non stop. Over here the media is loving this. Personally it's been a while since I last sailed. My last recollections of sea travel was when I was a child in a canvas canoe which unfortunatly my brother shot a hole right through using a mid-powered rifle c/w scope for a laugh, ah so funny...

Anyways, in the UK this hysteria has been going on for a while & I can see where it originated from, see the recent image from families aborting their neighbourhoods via floatation device.
