Would You Travel Around the World by Yourself?

We wanted to salute two amazing teens, Abby Sunderland and Jessica Watson, who are two teens, both attempting to sail around the world-solo!  In this article, the author explain the magnitude of this attempt.  “More than 3,000 people have successfully climbed Mt. Everest during the past 56 years. According to the American Sailing Assn., fewer than 250 people have sailed alone around the world since Joshua Slocum logged the first documented solo-circumnavigation in 1898.”  This is amazing!  Abby and Jessica rock!

A few days ago, Abby, who is just 16 years old, had to cut her trip short because of technical problems with her autopilot system.   Her courage, determination, and fearlessness are inspiring!  Have you ever had a dream like Abby’s?  Have you ever had a dream that seemed impossible but you held on to it and tried it anyways?

Girls With Dreams salutes Abby and Jessica for being such amazing examples of bravery and for following their dreams.  It will be exciting to hear more about their sailing adventures!
