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.


And it'll be featured on the "Who Wants To Be a Masochist?" TV show!

(Next month will mark my 3rd happy year without the boob tube and my
22nd without cigs.)


Well Done!! May 1st I'm four years off cigarettes.
