Teen sails around the world
A nineteen-year-old Australian who spent seven months at sea in her pink yacht passed the finishing line of her round-the-world journey on Saturday. She the youngest sailor to sail round the globe solo, non-stop and unassisted. Thousands of spectators burst into applause as Emily Watson sailed into Sydney Harbour, the finale to an epic journey from which critics said she'd never get back alive.
Watson's parents for her when she arrived, and the teenager burst into tears; she her mum and dad for seven months.
Emily Watson, from Buderim in Queensland, had set off from Sydney on October 18th, ignoring comments by critics who said she was too immature and inexperienced for the journey. Her parents said that they had brought her up to be independent and that she was well-prepared because she had been sailing since she was eight.
How did Emily feel to be back home? 'Well, I haven't had a good meal for seven months; I've been at sea, alone, October; I've missed my friends,' she told reporters. Is she planning another voyage? 'First, I think a nice long rest - chill out, you know. And then I'm going to finish my studies.' Emily is planning to study physical education at Sydney University.
