I blame stupidity and parents.
It was her father who made her do it..and the reason why the boat wasn’t properly fixed the first time it had issues was because he was afraid that someone else would break the record. The family sounds like a bunch of media whores looking for their 15 minutes
Boy you got that right.
Regardless of the boat or the weather, my first though was that she had been captured and abducted. The open ocean can be a dangerous place in a number of ways for a sixteen year old beautiful little girl.
Why didn’t they just have her hitchhike through Mexico instead.She was very very lucky in many ways. IMO
