    Default Lone Sailor

    I have been occassonally following Jessica Watsons lone voyage around the world. Amazing considering the Dutch Government stopped a younger girl and even took her into child care from doing the same thing.

    Today I got a bit of a laugh from reading the ABC story seems she has past Christmas Island eading down to the Cape Horn.

    I checked out google maps to find Christmas Island is of the far North West of Australia no where near Pacific Ocean or cape Horn.

    Oh well back to school either for Jess or the Jurno.

    Edit that be right ABC just corrected the Island

    Actually there's two Christmas Islands

    one's in the Indian Ocean at 105°40'E 10°30'S
    the other's in the Pacific at 157°20'E 1°52'N (this one is also known as Kiritimati)
    regards from Alberta, Canada
