Jessica's achievement provides a positive alternative to young women surrounded by 'raunch culture', and a life sentence of sexual and domestic servitude.

Well done Jess, catch up on your sleep.

At 16 I thought it was an accomplishment to ride my bicycle across town.

How big this girl dreams!!!!!!!

I am from the US, but I will be an Australian today and celebrate the accomplishment of this magnificent, daring and passionate young women.

7 months alone on the unforgiving sea at age 16?

I am gobsmacked!!!!!

@irishbear76 Yes Mark, amazing to think of this girl's fortitude and maturity at the age of 16 and how gracious she has been throughout this journey. All the naysayers were eating that humble pie as she stepped ashore at the Sydney Opera house!

What a wonderful role model she is for young women.

There are now more possiblilities, more challenges to take on.

Welcome home young Jessica, congratulations on all of your achievements.
