it has everything to do with sorrow that this girl didn't make it but it was doomed from the get-go.
And absolute fright that anyone thought that it was a good idea. The sailing forum said she never even cleared her lifeboat, it was full of junk and the deck was littered. The term "everything is ship shape" came from the sailing community. Guess this little girl wasn't taught that.
Reading the linked forum at reply 150, it appears that she was getting all of her sailing directions from dad via long range comms. He was doing the weather work and giving her the next waypoint to put into the GPS/autopilot.
When the mast went down and comms were gone she was lost and didn’t have a plan. Her only “if anything goes wrong” plan was “turn on the EPIRB.”
That is why the ocean sailing community universally scorns this misbegotten effort.
If you try to be the youngest ever to scale Everest, and you do in in January because May will be too late, don’t expect praise when you activate your EPIRB at 24,000 feet in a blizzard, expecting a rescue effort to be mounted.
That’s what this family did, they sent Abbey up Everest in winter, because spring was too late for the “youngest ever” record.
