Family of teen sailor jubilant on news she is safe

[RICHARD]

There were times in my life my mom would have gladly paid for me to sail around the world.

And she would have prayed for a storm to put the shoes to me.

But, that was MY mom......

Just to clarify - I said "them" to refer to the other young solo sailors.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I would never allow a 16 year old child of mine do anything like this. Her parents must be made of steel. She must be made of steel.
I have to say, I admire her for trying it but I wish she would have been a little older??
YIKES!! This just scares me!!

[RICHARD]

Statistically?


It's safer to send your 16 year old to sail around the world, than it is to sent them to school each morning.



I could be wrong?

Seems to me that this 16 year old could out sail all of us combined. It also seems that she has parents who respect her skills and goals.

Take a look at all of the risk takers and adventurers in history who were out for glory and thrills.

LOL,

That dope Geraldo Rivera was on TV griping about this story and was advocating the parents being brought up on charges of child endangerment.


If that is so?

Charge Beth Holloway for putting her daughter in danger for letting her go to Aruba.

Morons.
