Well its just my opinion, but I don't beleive this is an adventure of passion and of the heart. On one hand I want to support the girl and wish her encouragement for what she is doing because its truly inspirational, but the other side of me says this is just a stupid idea from a little girl who can sail a boat but really doesnt comprehend the true dangers. This is a typical naive finger in the air and reckless attitude that is more common of the youth of today and disappointing behaviour from parents that should know better.
I pray she makes it safely home and hope its only mother nature that she has to battle. Unfortunately, this is the 21st century, not the nostalgic 1950's and 1960's where the world was a different place.
I continue to shake my head at all of this and if she makes it home safely, I'll be the first person to say "thank god.." and be happy, but if she doesn't - guess what all the naysayers will be saying....they will have a field day.
So what next.. 14 year old girl sets sail to do an around the world trip? what would we all say then? What does it take for people to change thinking from "go Girl!!" to "thats just idiocy".
