Cruising Sailors Forum Archive

Entirely different kind of undertaking though --multi-leg trade wind route, and not via the great capes

Her route is here (apparently going via SA/Cape Town instead of the Red Sea is an option she's leaving open, I read somewhere): http://www.lauradekker.nl/Basis.aspx?Tid=5019&Lid=40&Lit=TEKST&Hmi=5041&Smi=5041&STIJL=2

It's the lazy man's tropical sailing route around the world . Then again, it's true that she's only 14...but she has already singlehanded from Holland to England, and been offshore...way more experience (and gumption and energy), it would seem, than many a retired couple setting off on a long-planned world cruise

From what I've read, her parents haven't tried to shop around a reality TV show about her yet, so I'm not jaded by it all yet
