[quote=erikdj;538251]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 "

You would be wrong - my running aground.. see the BoatUS story sept edition, sometimes mistakes are not the lack of experience but more of circumstance regardless these are are the tools to learn from..

Even me - can see it.. cut her some slack..
