Jessica Watson racks up more ocean miles


With School finished for the year, Jessica Watson has turned her focus towards achieving her goal of becoming the youngest person to sail solo non-stop, unassisted around the world. She's currently mid-Tasman skippering the Sweeden34 Magic Roundabout. At 16 years, Jessica has made many ocean passages, and on this one from Brisbane to Auckland, ostensibly as Skipper though with 2 mentors onboard for insurance purposes.
Her last position report had her approaching Lord Howe Island, with all going well.
