I noticed whilst reading Jesses Blog about rounding the Cape that she is referring to herself as "we" and "us". I think she has bonded with her boat.

and so it starts....or at least continues.
That 13yo in Holland will be next - maybe when she is 14 and the other two have made it around OK.....
Sounds like Jess made it through some nasty weather OK. I hope there is not too much more of that in front of her, sounded pretty extreme.
