also, do these girls have an escort vessel when they sail? Why do I get the feeling at least one of them is going to get lost and we're going to end up paying our Navy to search the ocean for a capsized boat for a week? I mean, I guess it's good for the race in a way, but the precedent it sets for other girls to follow who might not have her luck or skill is cary.

edit- lol, yep, the US girl trying it is named Abby Sunderland and could be jessica's sister; White, blonde, good family. Dutch girl was stopped by authorities in the Caribbean bc she was too young. Yep, so race is a "social construct," race does not exist and does not matter they tell us; but both girls to sail around the world (the american girl is about 3/4 there) happen to be blonde, blue-eyed.
