girl solo sailor epirbs went off this AM

Emergency rescue effort is launched for teen sailor Abby Sunderland


For some reason sailors see this youngest kid to sail the globe claim as some holy grail and it causes many to chase it....when in effect most of these kids have never seen or sailed in real heavy weather in the mid ocean for months on end. My question is...who pays for her rescue? This is a pointless award and since she pursued it on her own...Send the bill to her folks. I hope she is OK... she has more balls than I do.
(I can tell you I would not let my kid sail the globe alone...I don't care how good a sailor he/she was, too much can (and will) go wrong.)
