Loved your input regarding Abby Sunderland. I hope you've had a chance to read her blog as it does show the amazing depth of her character. When she decided that she would need to put into South Africa for repairs, she commented on the feeling of loss she felt because she wasn't going to be able to sail around the world unassisted, but then she reminded herself that this was HER goal and she didn't need to answer to others that may feel she fell short in her dream.
