I blame terrible parenting. A kid that age isn’t old enough to weigh the risks of something like this and shouldn’t be allowed to undertake it.
Twaddle !
She knows precisely what she is doing. Read her blog. She is very clearheaded. She seems completely familiar with her boat and the weather. She has been able to make amazing (to me anyway) repairs so far.
One might compare her with the man occupying the White House now. He is considerably older so folks here I guess think he would be the more responsible of the two. But Obama wouldn't last a week on a sailboat on the open ocean. Without help it appears he wouldn't be able to write a coherent blog. And Abby has the decency to put only herself at risk. Obama has put us all at risk.
