We all make mistakes, certainly--I won't debate with you on the example you raised. There are simply too many factors and really not germane to this topic. But I doubt you looked out at a beach off your bow, shrugged your shoulders and went below to fix a cocktail. Jessica's error was egregious and demonstrative of someone who is inexperienced or lacks clear judgement. Either of which is correctable with time and a lot of sailing.
I hope she succeeds in circumnavigation some day. But it seems that this particular 16 year old child needs more time and experience as master of her vessel.
