I don't know how many are interested in sailing but young Queenslander Jessica Watson has just rounded Cape Horn in her attempt to be the youngest person to sail single handed around the world. ONYA Jess.

Way to go Jessica. What a tremendous adventure for a young adventurer!

Apparently you Queenslanders don't live in quite the Nanny State as young Laura Dekker in the Netherlands....

The Nanny's nearly got her at the start, she had a coming together with a container ship when she left Mooloolaba to sail to Sydney for the start.
All the hand wringing do gooders tried to get her stopped.
