amazing....Jessica Watson was 16, Laura Dekker 14......Jesse Martin was 18.....I'm 65 and scared of open water swimming...these kids tell me that the future of this world is in amazing hands.....and they all show that adventure is still out there, possibilites are endless....
Some money has to be behind her, her boat will cost to go through the Panama canal about 2000 dollars. The boat itself has to be at least another 30000 dollars, so that came from Daddy or other people, I don't know, but certainly came from somewhere...
Laura thank you, great to see what you have done, and what you will do It would be great to see every child on our Ocean Planet being able to learn to sail. Enjoy our beautiful Ocean Planet.
Idiots asking idiot questions. I don't know how she maintained her composure. Because she is such a great lady, she didn't tell them all to "FUCK OFF".
I wonder , what the fucking idiot was recording this material ? That's the way New Zealand Television records their programs ? Don't you have motherfuckers wind-proof microphones ?!!!
And you assume this is recorded by a TV crew .... why? To pump yourself up by denigrating others? This is clearly filmed by a member of the public, standing behind the crews, and shooting over their heads with a cheap camera or phone with built-in mic.
was disappointed when at the end of her sailing she took with her a boomer -look like she pic up the dude on the street-the ugly always stay with the pretty girls.
emanuel Posse even if she meant the funner version. God I wish I meet someone like that when I was young. I always did what ever I wanted but I was stuck with friends in the system. Now I'm forcing her dream on my wife. Not that shes complaining. Its like forcing gold on a homeless person. But I doubt she would of understood what it means to sail around the world when she was 17. 25 and she's wondering why its taking so long, too set sail
what a fulfilment to make a drivers licence in germany with 18. cool and valiant. how much food did she have onboard, and could she make freswater from seawater?
She's generous with her time, answering the same old questions. I hope she can hang in and settle in here. Laura, if you are passing by Warkworth and want to go for a sail in a laser out to Kawau Island and have a look around just let me know.
People can say what they like, but I think Laura is a young person to be admired. She has courage and complete confidence in her own abilities. We read and hear so much in the media of the young folk who run off the rails and get into booze and drugs that it is reassuring to see the other side of the coin and those youngsters who are achieving, in whatever field. Well done Laura, and all best wishes for the future.
