I loved this book! Could not put it down & am exhausted (I feel like I sailed with Jessica!), exhilarated, inspired & optimistic. What a ride she took me on! Her honesty, integrity, grit & gutsy optimism shine through it all. The video clips & photos are a bonus treat…like canned mangos! Well done Jessica & wow, just wow! Your family is amazing, your support peeps sublime - thank you for the wild ride of sailing the “wildest stretch”!!

I could say much and the common, however, the highest praise and the words I know Jessica would most appreciate are these: I can't wait to give a copy of this book to my granddaughter.

This book is a glorious celebration of the human spirit！More than a physical adventure， rather a beautiful story with a beginning and a glorious Hollywood ending！All started and performed by a cute little girl。The contrast between the sublime and ferocious powers of nature and a sweet beautiful innocent girl is at the heart of the story。The videos in the Ebook version give those of us who probably wont sail across the ocean the feeling of doing it。 Ths book and the book by Tania Aebi，two young girls， are both among the greatest sailing adventure books ever！ because they are human beings like us who are doing it and not professional sailors。

This was a great book to read even for someone like me who knows nothing about sailing. The videos in this book was an added bonus. It's hard to imagine this 16 year old girl sailing around the world by herself. Great story.

Jessica has shown just what a normal human being can achieve should you set your mind to it. She is truly inspirational. A great autobiography and the blog posts and videos that come with the book are fantastic too.
