i admire her courage & desire to do something like this at such a young age...initially i thought, what parent would allow their 16yo to do something like this, but then i realized that if my 16yo had the knowledge & capabilities as she did, i wouldnt want 2 abort her dreams. life is 2 short, live it to the fulliest everyday. if that was her dream & she was trained to successfully accomplish it...why not?
@knifesoldier...reckon she is a hero? or just a lucky girl (maybe spoilt too?)
Heroes for me put their lives at great risk for the benefit of others. By calling sportspeople heroes we probably have corrupted the word.
How risky was it for Jessica? And who has benefited ? (Australia's image?...how's the sensible world reacting?)The sea /ocean is a scary place (I went through it too..and help was then even more distant) those early sailors yes,they were heroes! Jessica ...wait...wait...wait...!!!!
Amazing accomplishment. She is one of the best sailors in the world at only 16. What a great inspiration for anyone who is afraid to try and make their dreams come true.
What a fantastic achievement for Jessica! She was looking forward to that moment. What a professional and always of good spirits! Bloody great effort, I look forward to her next trip!
why is everyone arguing? everyone should be backing jess up with her incredible achievement. i for one think she is a great role model to each and every young person in the world. its been a while since ive come across someone with that kind of determination and courage. congratulations :)

@powerpeanut1 i rule da streets here in So Cal! en i culd sail aroun da world if i wanted. all i say-ed wuz dis ho's teefh messed up but i respek her enuff to want to watch her use da baf room
@TatianaSword Do you make a habit of watching every video and leaving moronic comments? You could not even attempt to try anything as impressive as what Jessica Watson has done. What a fucking fail you are.
those soldiers that served and are serving for this country and for freedoms to allow all this (if you think it right), those did risk, many lost their lives...
Well they are coming and going every day: where is the welcome home party/crowd,
I just think that we should be sensible and keep it all in perspective...would jounalists even know what I mean?????
wow cool i wish i had a schoner of about 35 m length i could sail it with 5 mates and we could make music and sail around the world with surfboards and scuba gear.
no more problems with asshats living on the mainland !
There are so many haters in the world. And they all seem to be on the web. Makes you wonder what these people look like?
Keep your small minded opinions to yourself. No-one cares what you think.
You go girl. I think what your doing is incredibly brave and have nothing but admiration for you. If you were old enough I'd shout ya a beer when you get back! This will be the best ever pub story! lol
Here here! How many people with degrees end up working in a supermarket or a call centre.
Jess, don't listen to all the knockers. They are just jealous that they didn't have the guts and determination to take on such a challenge. Or to achieve a personal goal, I recently achived mine. You are setting a great example to other teenagers and Australians in general to get out there and give it a go.
Good luck for the last 12,000 nm. :) Australia IS proud of you.
@KurlySmurf how exactly is "going to university" a WASTE of time? I'd say what she is doing is the waste of time. Did you even get your degrees? How far did you get? Are you even successful?
@xBl00dBrothersX It all depends on the person, brother. Many people enjoy college / higher education, and they become "successful" (according to society's definition of successful), and they enjoyed it. If you think college is profitable, good for you, but perhaps KurlySmurf thinks his time could have been better spent than at the university. I know I'm the same way. I've got one more semester left in college, and I look at it all as a waste of time and money. What she did was not a waste.
Holdmypocketlol? Not sure if you're trying to funny or just controversial - but put simply - you are neither. My guess is you are a talentless loser trying to get a little fame by posting idiotic shit like this on youtube. Do yourself a favor mate, and go get a life.
RUFOUSME??????first of all what a jackass!!clearly you a a miserable person who looks at the glass as being half empty.if theres one thing ive learnt in life is that your critics are ALWAYS the ones who are never willing to compete.question,what have you achieved in life?and more to the point what did u achieve when you were 16?fuck all would be my guess.keep your head held high jess,your doing a great job!!!from ash on the gold coast
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can see she is unassisted !! sailing around the world it's more like a huge corporate advertising and media stunt She has the BOM giving her sailing directions well being relayed through her family .its all hogwash and the public are suckers thinking she is doing it unassisted. Jessica and family you fraud's.one of her vids she said all i could see was the stern of the ship coming towards me then it hit sorry jess you don't even know the difference between the bow and stern of a vessel fail.
Of course she has corporate sponsorship. It costs a lot of money.
But since you are such a purist and expert in boats (by the way, she actually collided with the stern of the ship because of the angle she was tracking. It wasn't a head-on) , why don't you go and get in your canoe and start paddling? I mean if you're going to come on here to criticise, maybe you should back it up with action. That would be the brave thing to do.
A nice sailing boat, the sea and LP :) What more do you need ?
