Stupid little bimbo didn't learn a dam* thing.

[MNlurker]

Once her and her family pay for the rescue operation I have no problem...following a dream is great you just have to pay whether the bill comes in asking for money or your life.

[Chode]

not till the search & rescue work for this time is paid in full...

[4rcane]

if she pay for it with her own money then i have no problem with it

[Peter W. Kessler]

Who’s buying all the boats for this kid?

[Frantzie]

Whoa! She is not a bimbo. Savage and others talked about this girl’s bravery and self reliance. The brother did the same thing. At least she is not on crack or watching TV. She did not panic etc. I do think the planning was not that good and I doubt I would want a let my kid do this.

This teenager-sailing-around-the-world-solo schtick has got to stop.

I keep reading about how kids like this get sponsors/ donors. I wonder how they do it. I wouldn't part with my hard earned money for such a dangerous and frivolous adventure by someone else.

After she pays for the rescue

[dalereed]

no more stupid than people supporting choo-choos!!!

[EGPWS]

"I'm definitely going to sail around the world again, or at least give it another try.

[albie]

Set aside $500,000 for the next rescue, pay the bill for the current rescue and I have no problem with it.

Why is this chick so attention hungry ?

[Coldwater Creek]

Michael Savage is a certified nutcase himself!

[Eye of Unk]

She needs a better blue water boat, what she had was a joke though I wouldn’t mind at all owning it. I just would not have ever thought it as being capable for this type of a voyage, especially solo.

The parents should be charged with Felony child neglect.

[omega4179]

Agree, at least she’s not playing wii and painting her nails all day.

[Paradox]

Willie, calling her a bimbo was stupid, but I agree with the basic sentiment of your post.

Her 40-foot sailboat Wild Eyes remains adrift.
"Her" sailboat - 16 years old? Did she buy this with her baby sitting money?
Now she wants another one - paid for by ...?

[STONEWALLS]

...at one time she had a number of corporate sponsors...but as the time for launch drew nearer several pulled out...they didn’t want their name associated with a potential disaster.

We have a pending Darwin award in the wings...
