A 16-year-old Australian who spent seven months at sea in her pink yacht sailed across the finish line of her round-the-world journey Saturday, becoming the youngest sailor to circle the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted.

Congratulations going out to Jessica.
I had made following her daily blog part of my wake up and check the news routine while I have my morning coffee.
She's a trooper, no doubt about it.
