A dozen years later, no one commented? I’ve been sailing for 50 years, countless storms on the Great Lakes, nothing but respect for what this young lady has done!
I've only found out about Jessica with the "True Spirit" movie on Netflix. I didn't even realise it has been years since the real deal was happening. It's a shame, really, I'm from Portugal. What she did was such an accomplishment. I've always found, since being a kid, sailing is just so special. As a Portuguese you learn at school about all the "age of sail" accomplishments from all the sailors bringing news "worlds" to the World - you cannot forget there were true scientists and sailors that made it possible. It's fascinating to recognize that all along all this knowledge was fundamental in making Jessica's journey a reality. Over the top amazing feat for humanity - encompassing true spirit and knowledge. Utterly inspiring.
