This is why you don't let your 16 year old daughter sail around the world alone...

I could see doing something as foolish as this 'dream' was if you are 18......but how could a parent let their child sail all alone at 16.

Hope this kid is ok but the parents are the retards here.

I agree to a certain extent. 16 or 60, Sh*t happens.

Look at Sir Richard Branson's buddy, Steve Fossett. They sailed around the world in a balloon, and the guy had been up hundreds of times and he lost his life in a plane accident. So really the only reason age comes into it experience. When it's your time to get your ticket punched, there's not much you can do about it.

James Stephen Fossett (April 22, 1944 – c. September 3, 2007) was an Americanbusinessman, aviator, sailor, and adventurer and the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon. He made his fortune in the financial services industry, and was best known for many world records, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot.

A fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Explorers Club, Fossett set 116 records in five different sports, 60 of which still stood as of June 2007[update].[1]

On September 3, 2007, Fossett was reported missing after the plane he was flying over the Nevada desert failed to return.[2] Despite a month of searches by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and others, Fossett could not be found, and the search by CAP was called off on October 2, 2007. Privately funded and privately directed search efforts continued, but after a request from Fossett's wife, he was declared legally dead on February 15, 2008.

On September 29, 2008, a hiker found Fossett's identification cards in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, and the crash site was discovered a few days later (on 1 October 2008) 90 miles from where he took-off, although his remains were not initially found. On November 3, 2008, tests conducted on two bones recovered about 750 feet from the site of the crash produced a match to Fossett's DNA.

With that all said. I hope she is OK.

I never feel bad when thrill seekers meet an early demise.

I usually don't either but it is hard not to feel bad for a 16 year old who didn't know what she was up against. She is just a kid.

Just read the other day where one of the best extreme skiers in the world died in a fall a week or so ago and I felt no sympathy.....this is just different to me....guess because I have a kid her age.
