A young girl on a 40 ft boat all alone in treacherous waters.

The sheer stupidity of this is unimaginable, and since the governing
sailing bodies won't certify her results, why bother? *(I don't
believe a 17 year old girl will be able to pull of the standard
"because it was there" horse crap.)

I think our local newscaster with tow girls of his own said it best:

"For Gawd's sake; doesn't this girl have parents?"

Apparently not.

As records for 'The Youngest' keep being challenged, at some point in
the future it will have to be a 6-year old who sets sail.
