Abby is a very skilled sailor from a family of skilled sailors. She sailed more than halfway around the world. That is the evidence to her skill luck.

2. She herself says that she saw winds greater than 40 knots just once. Once. And what happened?

1. A leisurely family cruise from California to Baja California does not a "family of skilled sailors" make.

Then there is the question of understanding what she would face. Just how many Round the World sailors did she talk to before she set out? How many did RTW below the Great Capes?

How many times did he see winds greater than 40 knots I wonder? Actually I wonder if the grumblers and naybobbers know? They know all about Abbey, though, so as to beat up on the wee lass.
