Jessica - add your congratulations

[DJE]

Seems a bit of a short course round the world to me! 24000 nm around the world at he equator no?

There are a few key targets I must achieve to qualify for around the world status. The approximate distance is 23,000 nautical miles (about 38,000 kilometres). I must depart and arrive from the same port, cross all lines of longitude, cross the equator entering into the Northern Hemisphere at least once and round the southern landmarks of South America and South Africa.

She's been up to the equator and back while crossing the Pacific.


Oh yes and Congratulations Jessica!.

And lets remember . . .

It's a 34ft MAB of the sort many of us sail . . . just painted pink.

I loved this pic of Ellas Pink Lady surfing towards the cape in 40-knot winds.

Well done. The old Cape Horn sailors used to put an earring in the left ear only, but of course if you do that other women will just think you have lost one!

What a spirit young Jessie has......the close encounter during her coastal warm-up, no doubt stirred the parental concerns of some of the forum members, but hey, look at you now

All the best, little Aussie battler.....
