[pct-l] Sorta OT - Abby Sunderland's reality TV show

[Edward Anderson]

Ken, 
After reading your two informative posts on the subject and the attached article, I have changed my opinion regarding Abby's sailing adventure. I had no idea that the boat was less than sea-ready or that her father had preplanned selling a "reality" show and was willing to risk his daughters life in quest of a "record"- even though it would mean her sailing through the Indian Ocean during the stormy season.  I had read about her brother Zack's voyage and didn't see any good reason why his sister could not do a similar one just because she was a year younger and a girl.  In her case big mistakes were made.
