Her MOTHER called it sibling rivalry. It never occurred to me. I thought she just wanted to sail s she could say "I DID IT". That in itself is an ego trip as it serves no purpose other than bragging.
Another example of the falacy of too few alternatives - the resulting opinion is a logical short circuit.
She had to want to do it herself for more reasons than mere sibling rivalry or bragging rights. Come on, this was a trip around the world, alone, in a sailboat. If it weren't for fate she'd have made it too. In the light of that reality you and I butt sitting like a couple girly men at our computer screens arguing about a 16 yr old girl who has so much more ambition than we do it flat out PWN3D us is really, really pathetic. I'm so ashamed I'm going to log off and go DO something. Gotta fix the head gasket on the air compressor so it's ready for painting the magnesium Corvette wheels for our LT1/six speed WS6 Firebird. Not a trip around the world I know but.... nice talking! Now smile!
