Solo 16-year-old sailor hits merchant ship

As I read the quote, Jessica was unable to enter waypoints in her plotter, not that she had failed to do so on her short passage.

Well, I'm with refueller on this - I don't believe it. If the lassie can send a text on a mobile she can surely manage to input a waypoint, and I am sure that if the worst came to the worst she could RTFM.

I can't beleive that anyone here believes anything they read about sailin in the Australian tabloids . . .

Err, why specify the antipodean press? In my view the entire global species is unable to tell a truth - even if they tried.

Its the prerogative of the young to stick two fingers up at their seniors and do it their way. If she dies in the process, so be it. At least she has the opportunity to do this sort of thing.

Well said!

Good luck to her!
