girl solo sailor epibs went off this AM

[Jim in CT]

So likwid, you weren't even talking about solo time offshore?

I was once on an aircraft carrier in the Persial Gulf with the USMC. No one drowned that day. Can I therefore claim that it's reasonable for a 16 year old to sail solo around the world?

[Mr. Sandman]

I would not know about the number of rescue calls but personally, I don't see a BB buoy and mid ocean rescue in the same category.

Sittin in that raft in a 60kn blow for days is not fun. But I hope she made it into the raft!
