John Thanks for the update. Great reading and I think I have found my favorite quote for the new year. “low visibility means that you can see very little of the bad weather” Jessica Watson Jan 7, 2010

My wife likes the pink boat - she says "it's so cute!"

I suggested that a 34 foot boat is only 9 feet longer than <i>Passage</i>. Imagine spending 88 days on your boat without seeing land, another boat, or another person!

She was glad to see that her mum and dad were nearby and were able to wave at her boat from the passing plane.

She was delighted to see that the Chilean and Argentine navy were escorting her too

Volume changes by the cube of length (roughly), so a 34' boat is quite likely to have much more than twice the interior size of a 25' boat.
