If she was an adult I wouldn't give a flying f*ck what happens to her but she is not.
No tax payer money should be spent to rescue her.
Her dumbass father should be locked up for negligence.

I think it was the Aussies that had to go look for her, not U.S. tax dollars, so who cares.

J/K

Sticky situation. Are the parents dumb/negligent for letting her do this, absolutely. No way I let my 17 yr. old son sail solo around the world. However, if the Aussies send a bill to the family what happens when another boat comes into distress in the same area through no fault of it's own? Do they get a bill too? The seas in that area are pretty bad from what I read.

I read this a while back, definitly reminds me of a "yuppie 911".

With this known you really have to question the parents motives.

God I am a lazy ass! Very pretty girl as well.

I think this is different then Abby in that the girl is not doing it alone and they are stopping at times, just seems a heck of a lot safer.

Looks like SS you agree with me.
