[aem]

I'm sure most of you ozzies knows. Lets do a poll on this.

Girl starts solo world sailing bid - AOL Video

 

[aem]

I'll start. Obsolutely.

Not sure how solo she will be doing this trip but if she really is doing it solo, i'd like to be the lucky first Pirate if you know what i mean...

 

[chuckr]

She must have saved up a lot of dollars and pennies, working at MacDonalds,

to handle something like that...

What's the 'rest of the story' ?

At 16, I would lube up my bicycle, for international transportation...

Come again?.

Fair play to her, she is a brave girl, the best of luck to her she will need it.

 

[zigzag3143]

Im with Jfar. Dont know about you but I wouldnt do it

 

[H2SO4]

Im with Jfar. Dont know about you but I wouldnt do it

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.

I vote shark food. Earheart, anyone?

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

Well if you are in Australia, there has been a high focus on woman and how they are been kidnapped and raped due to their appearances (what they wear and where they go). Girls who goes out wearing skimpy clothes were been labelled as animal meat attracting wild dogs...to me that's a fair label (and no i'm not muslim). Here u have a young girl who is alone and on the high seas. What more needs to be said? no dman pirates is going to just rob her boat and let her go now are they?

She'll fish or she'll be fished.

the girl in the image has nothing to do with the topic.​

First thought: "hey, surely that couldn't be Bill Gates, could it?"
Second thought: "Why is he French? The tricolore, garlic, and the snail are presumably there for a reason."
Third thought: "Why is BillG committing an act of piracy against a Windows speedboat while flying the French flag?"
Fourth thought: "He's not the pirate - they're making him walk the plank. Why?"

Does anyone know the story behind the drawing?

 

[aem]

How on earth did u come to the thought that it's BillG?

Besides the face you mean?

Look at the pennant on the speedboat's bow.

LOL, had no idea about the image contents when publishing , here is the image source(found it while googleing for-blonde in boat- )

Yes its BillG. the Name of the image is "Bill Gates and his Pirates"

 

[aem]

Does not look like him though.

I would said it might have something to do with software piracy?

As far as I can tell from the news reports, there's multiple media choppers that fly out and get stories take videos of the boat etc.

I'm also led to believe from a column in The Daily Telegraph she and her parents signed a dead with Channel 9 (Australian channel) for media coverage (that's why they put her on the news every night) and they are sponsoring her so when she gets back to Australia she'll be interviewed by Channel 9 representives eg. Tracy Grimshaw.

I wish her good luck, she's been sailing for the majority of her life she's said so she's no novice (aside from running into that tanker or whatever )

Peace out.
