Reply #55: I'm familiar with Ms. Watson's voyage and have read most of

[ladjf]

her log. She is bit older than Sunderland. I should have said that Sunderland was the youngest female to attempt the round the world voyage.

I have read about Slocum's circumnavigation many times.

Also the Brit Francis Chichester, at the age of 67 made the run.

I personally have been a sailor for most of my life having owned a 38' Islander for several years.

I'm not sure why you chose to personally attack me when I was simply complementing Ms. Sunderland
for her skill and courage.
