I'd LOVE to do it, but then I'm neither 16 nor a girl.

The media here are going nuts over the parenting implications. Should they encourage her, should they let her go, should the social services people intervene, Is She A Bad Mother.... it's an absolute circus.

Painting the hull bright pink may not be the best idea.

Does anyone not think about the image of "a 16 y.o blonde, all alone on a pink boat" in a place where it's really is "fair game"...or do i need to spell it out?

You really are telling us a lot about yourself
