These parents are lower than whale poop. I wish the authority that recognizes records in sailing would make the boat put up bond for any cost related to rescue or admin expense for a country. Plus require 18 years old as the entry level.
I am so frosted about this. Sending your kid to her potential death is child abuse in the first degree. The kid failed, was behind schedule, put in for repairs and was then advised by her father to continue the march. Put those parents in a Dingy in the middle of the Southern Ocean in Winter. Let’s see what hero’s they are. That girl was facing weather worse that what crashed her for the next two months.
Honor the rescuers. The fishing boat crew that got her lost production, and the captain, almost his life. Fell into the water. I’m hot about this.

Thank you for such an articulate rational knowledgable posting!
I think the comments about homeschooling are a bit over the top.

I read some of the posts, until my gag reflex acted up.
Here is one such reflex stimulating post from the site you lauded.
“I was hoping she was dead. Just to teach her parents a lesson for pushing her into doing it. 16 year old kids don’t decide to go sail around the world on their own. Mommy and Daddy plant that idea when they are very young.”
Sounds like a sea going DU.
