IS ADVENTURE LOST?

The girl, Abby Sunderland of Thousand Oaks, California, departed alone Jan. 23 in her sailboat Wild Eyes. However you choose to look at it, it is always going to be a daunting task to solo circumnavigate the world. There has been a ton of criticism going around regarding the reason for her failed attempt, whether it is age, experience, or ability.

In regards to all of this, I say this to all of you – what have you done recently that had deserved such criticism? Do you even have the guts, ability, or experience to even dream about doing something like this? It was her decision to go out and try to do this, and as a avid supporter of the sailing and boating industry, I wouldn’t even think of saying that she shouldn’t have done this, in fact I have a ton of respect for Abby and Jessica Watson – who actually did circumnavigate the world, but isn’t being recognized as a true record holder. Both of these sailors are doing great things for our sport. One could argue that the raw sense of adventure is lost in the sport of sailing.

However, I believe that they are bringing back that sense of adventure to the sport of sailing. Together, they actually brought a worldwide level of excitement to sailing. I’m not saying to go out and sail around the world, but if these 16 year old girls have what it takes to sail around the world by themselves, then maybe now you will have the confidence to go out and conquer one of your own lifelong dreams.

    Come on..I could easily go around the world if I had her boat. This is what happens when doolys try to sail.

    That’s what I’m saying. People make such a big deal about the dangers of sailing around the world, but they both had the best technology on their boats. I think I’m going to start planning my trip around the globe.
