After reading some of the back and forth, I really think it’s only a few bed-wetters posting over and over again. A lot of it seems to stem from those who think something magical would happen when she turns 18. Abby might not be a legal adult in the United States, but she is not a child, either. What she accomplished is quite impressive, and I imagine she will accomplish much more. Obviously, trying to sail solo around the world is not for everybody. There are many things that are not for everybody, which is why the extraordinary is extraordinary.

We have our share of nanny-staters and bed-wetters on the Right.

“What she accomplished is quite impressive”

Quite...it’s not like just anyone can go out and get stranded in the middle of the Indian Ocean in the winter...
