Welcome Home Jessica Watson :clap: :wave: :thumbup:

I was one of the skeptics who thought she should NOT do it, but as a mother, that was my first instinct.
I was one of the skeptics who thought we would be plucking her out of the ocean.
Thank God she has arrived home safely, phew! :D
Welcome home Jessica,

How BIG are this chick's BALLS?

    according to who? I think reality is probably a better indicator than some weird stipulation set by an organization somewhere.

    I heard some other crap about her not travelling far enough...? Jessie Martin travelled further or something or other so she doesn't deserve it!? Like fuck!! Everyone said she couldn't do it...but she did it!!!

    I also read that NZ is trying to claim her as theirs because her grandparents are kiwis! haha Ahhhh....I shouldn't laugh....good chance I'm moving to NZ next year! :o

    congratulations jessica!! ... if i was anywhere close to sydney - i would be celebrating with you! ... this is truly a remarkable feat ... beyond the physical aspect of this accomplishment ... the mental fortitude to survive out there for almost 200 days is incredible ...

    anyhoo.. jessica is a legend.

    It isn't her age that keeps her from being recognised, it's because some ' SAIL WORLD WEBSITE' says if she didn't cover 21,600 nautical miles, she didn't go ALL the way around the world.
    Bullshit, she left Sydney and went East around the world, and she didn't stop until she hit Sydney again,
    That says Around the world to me....
    Seems like the people who make up the rules have smaller balls and even smaller brains than Jessica, lets see THEM do it!

    its both her age and the fact they reckon she didnt cover enough miles. apparently. :roll: two different records.

    but jessica said records arent why she did it. she said she did it cause it was something she felt she needed to do. and as far as im concerned thats the only reason to do anything.

    I'm really hoping Jessica spends her new found fame on premoting The Red Cross, Royal Flying Doctors, Good Samaritians, The Wiggles and others of thier ilk.
