It is amazing to see the coverage that she is getting on all the news channels. So good for sailing. It will be difficult for her to go from such seclusion to the crowds that want to see her on arrival. I hope she now gets some time to sleep!

A HUGE cheer from me too! Well done to our lady of the sea!
And, great TV coverage.....at last, maybe they (TV guys) have had a peak at this forum! Thought they might come up with a report a little like this..... A young woman has been out for a sail But no, much better this time, I still chuckle at the report they gave about Mike G's main halyard breaking......'a rope broke' yeep thats what they said! talk about understate the situation! A happy day for us sailors..... Ellen you are one in a million!! |
