Jessica Watson, a 16 years old Australian, became the youngest lonesome navigator to travel around the world on a sailboat.

On her "Ella's Pink Lady" she crossed the Cape Horn from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.

On her blog she wrote her ambition was to become the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around the World.

"I'm going to apologize in advance for the over-use of exclamation marks (!), but it's certainly been an amazing few days! Sorry not to have updated you all earlier on my side of events, but after running on not much more than adrenalin for a good 4 days, I've only had one thing on my mind - sleep!

So much has happened lately. So many highs. But I'm going to start at the beginning with Tuesday and 60 nm between us and the Cape. Passing squalls, the waves standing up a little as we passed in to shallower water, the wind settling into a consistent 40 knots by nightfall, all made life pretty interesting".
