No...When I heard of your distress I prayed for you. Not many teens, let alone a girl so brave to try what you wanted to accomplish. Maybe your detractors object because you are a girl. I am sure some thought you were just being a show-off. Well, I admire your courage. You are a special person and one of a kind. Your voyage ended in damage to the boat, but I think you shoud get it repaired and sail on any how. You have not been damaged. You may not make a record sail, but you will have completed a goal you set before you. Wow, it must have been really scary with those gigantic waves. I know you prayed to God and I believe he answered your prayers.

G...12-05-09 @15:55<br />Hi Marianne AKA "Mom",<br />Glad to hear from you and that things are going smoothly. I was also glad to see that she is getting some good coverage from the media,(LA Times). <br />I'm sure she's cheerful and upbeat, she's going to get her "Baby". It looks like she'll have good sailing up the coast. I hope they have a good and safe trip. God be with her.<br />Looking forward to the next posting.<br />Michael(74)from Kingwood,WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-71954232696797769652009-12-05T11:54:00.329-08:002009-12-05T11:54:00.329-08:00Marianne, thanks for the update on Abby and what i...Marianne, thanks for the update on Abby and what is going on with her and Wild Eyes.
