I hope things go smoothly in preparation but those waves sound rather big to me, an old lady who likes her feet on the ground. However, I think young people like you and Jessica and others who've travelled the world single handedly sure are special. Where would we be without the adventurous spirit.<br /><br />I live on the Sunshine Coast not far from Jessica and following her journey is quite exciting, so I'm looking forward to the official start of your adventure.<br /><br />My prayers are with you and for you. God bless.Bebiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323220194156829258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-20316336040609706312009-11-19T11:08:35.592-08:002009-11-19T11:08:35.592-08:0011-19-09 @14:10

How's everything going, are you getting pretty well prepared for the trip? After watching Jessica I pretty much understand how big a project it is. <br />I hope you'll have an enjoyable trip with smooth sailing, and maybe "Silly" will pay you a visit. LOL....<br />Take care and the best of luck to you.<br />May God be with you and watch over you and may the angels keep your sails full. I will keep you in my prayers.<br />Michael (74) from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-30858691669445465412009-11-17T18:58:31.221-08:002009-11-17T18:58:31.221-08:00If God be for us, who can be against us?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-52600916615926393202009-11-17T18:56:11.297-08:002009-11-17T18:56:11.297-08:00You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and...You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remin; that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

I have been following Jessica since she set sail from Sydney, and all the preparations that took place prior to her departure tells me that you have been a very busy lady. I really think that it's wonderful that Abby has such supportive parents and family. Big brothers are supposed to tease, but there's a lot of love in there also. I hope she has happy and safe trip. With the crew she has behind her I'm sure she will. <br />Jessica is a very nice young lady and I think it would be wonderful if some day these girls could get together, they seem to have a lot in common, not just the sailing but in their personalities.<br />In my last blog I had mentioned that there was a problem on my letter. At the date and time line there was an icon that I didn’t understand…I finally tracked it down and there is no problem. (I’m learning)<br />Take care and God Bless you all.<br />May God be with her and watch over her and may the angels keep her sails full. I will keep you all in my prayers.<br />Michael (74) from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-4986581732189601712009-11-15T18:13:43.578-08:002009-11-15T18:13:43.578-08:0011-15-09 @21:15

On the blog I sent to you at the date and time line there is a little icon, when I put my cursor on it it says "delete comment". Do you have any idea as to what that means? The blogs I send to Jessica have the same icon on them. Am I doing something wrong?<br />Appreciate your help on this.<br />Michael (74) from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-70411755174614576982009-11-14T04:01:32.651-08:002009-11-14T04:01:32.651-08:00Hi Abbey,

Both of you will have an incredible story to tell and it would be great if both of you met one day as I'm sure you would have much in common to chat about.<br /><br />All the best with your preparations and my prayers will be with you throughout your journey. <br /><br />It's great to read your blog, you are doing a great job keeping everyone informed with the progress you are making with your preparations.<br /><br />What date will you be leaving?<br /><br />Kindest regards.

I had heard of you through the Australian newspapers (when I was getting information on Jessica Watson) and I searched all over the net and through Calif. newspapers but to no avail. I just found Laura Dekker's Web and your name and Web was listed there, my lucky day!!!! Now I'll have two (2) ladies to follow around the world. I'm retired and live in West Virginia and really have a lot of time on my hands, so I spend it on my computer. I'm not going to bug you with a lot of questions, I'll read some of your blogs and get enough info from them to get me caught up to date. I'm behind you 100% and wish you luck and Godspeed.<br />May God be with you and watch over you and may the angels keep your sails full. I will keep you in my prayers.<br />Michael (74) from Kingwood, WVhezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-36264105778624704182009-11-08T12:43:09.131-08:002009-11-08T12:43:09.131-08:00Abby, I have been following Jessica's site dai...Abby, I have been following Jessica's site daily for a few months and have really been enjoying it. I am looking forward to following yours also and hope you are able to make it out in time to go around the Horn this year. That was classy of Jess to send you an email. From my reading she really means it. Its about the trip and not a competition. I bet you two will be the best of friends after it is all over! Good luck and make sure you are really prepared and don't go just to try to be the youngest if your boat isn't ready! <br />Take care.
