Tell it like it is....I applaud this corageous girl for taking on an incredible challenge. I hope she gets the boat fixed and tries to finish what she started. I am disappointed at the people on FR who are obviously jealous that a) this family has the money to pull something like this off and b) this girl is doing something few people in the world would have the courage and fortitude to even try....meanwhile their kids are smoking dope, playing video games, etc. The repeated calls for the Aussies to go after the parents for restitution when the Aussies have said “we got it, no problem, that’s what we would expect of you in a similar situation” tells you what you need to know....jealousy and envy are terrible things.
And the Sunderlands are Christian .
Before the voyage, Laurence ( the father ) told the Los Angeles Times that he believed “the Lord is in control of everything” on Abby’s journey.
“We are born-again Christians, and we don’t make any decision just based on feeling or even on sound knowledge,” he told the Times in a video interview. “We also pray about it. The conviction of prayer and the answer to prayer has led to where we are with Abigail’s campaign.”
Abby’s mother, Marianne, told momlogic.com that the Sunderland family became Christians when their oldest son, Zac, was 4. In 2008, the 17-year-old Zac became the youngest person to complete a solo voyage around the world. This past week, he graduated from the Trinity Pacific Christian School program, a homeschool organization in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
“God was with me every nautical mile,” he said of his own historic voyage during his graduation at Calvary Community Church, according to the Star.
Yep there it is again.
