I would like to remind everybody that a couple thousand years ago, age 16 was that of a full mature individual.So no scandal about a teenager doing what she like the most,and may be teaching millions of spoiled teen without any idea in their mind to do something positive.Thanks Jessica

Hi Paul,
My comments were not really aimed at your piece, but rather the depressing “critics” in the comments who always seem to show up ready to rain on someone’s parade.

Richard, firstly many thanks for taking the time to comment. As someone who has done a fair amount of deep-water sailing I can attest to the courage and determination that Jesse has shown. My original Post was written out of respect and admiration for her, as is very clear when you read the piece.
Paul

Wow. People sure are upset at this. I stand amazed by this young woman. You know the world is full of people standing on the sidelines carping and barking about how “one shouldn’t do this” and “one shouldn’t do that” and I mean no offense to anyone but, like, sit down and shut up, will you? This girl wanted to live life at the edge. She wanted to experience life in a way that very, very, very few people can or will. Reasonable people can disagree about how prepared she was and whether she was too young. But who the hell is anyone to stand in the way of another person’s dreams. Get a life of your own and stop complaining when other people demonstrate a level of courage and hunger for life that you yourself will never have. And by the way, she freaking made it. So there!

This girl is great! A writer on my blog is writing an original song about her adventure, in hopes that it could be sent to her to listen on the voyage! Check it out – http://ctheh.com/random/a-song-for-jessica-watson/
