Allowing a sixteen year old to sail around the world in a yacht ALL BY HERSELF is SIMPLY PREPOSTEROUS AND BEYOND INSANITY.

We always remember failure and forget achievement

The area where she was found is infested with pirates.

No it isn't

Somali pirate boat MV Il de la Reunion (which rescued Abby)

How many differences can you spot?

Oh gee, I didn’t know pirates limited themselves to certain areas. Ialso know the weather in that part of the ocean can turn on a dime and much larger ships have been capsized around the Horn of Africa which is also heavily populated by great white sharks among other dangerous animals. Putting a sixteen year old girl in this type of environment all by herself is beyond reason and sanity.

I come from a sailing and boat background myself. My father would never do this all by himself.
