I disagree with those referring to Abby as a "daredevil."

She is young, but an experienced sailor in her own right. Whatever trouble she finds herself in at the moment is not dependent on her age.

Jessica Watson from Australia just finished her solo circumnavigation days before turning 17.

Who am I to step on someone's dream? A ship in a harbor is safe; but that is not what ships are for.

This is why so many playgrounds don't even have swings anymore! Someone might get hurt! Pathetic.

Godspeed, Abby.
