I’d say her sucessful rescue was a stroke of luck this time. I keep hearing about how difficult it was. Next time she mostly likely won’t be so lucky. The media keeps talking about 20 to 30 foot waves. On her blog she said she encountered 60 foot waves. She is one lucky girl to be alive. She doesn’t need to tempt fate again.
Amelia Earhart would have been advised to stay home as well. It is not the peoples business to stop the ambitions of adventurers.
