The Kids Are Alright......

Abby Sunderland is okay....for now.  The 16 year olde spoke with a circling aircraft this morning from her disabled yacht in the Indian ocean. 


Australian authorities on Friday made contact with a 16-year-old American girl who triggered a distress signal while attempting to sail solo around the world.
But it could be a day before a French fishing vessel pulls Abby Sunderland and her boat, Wild Eyes, to shore, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
"She's in the boat. The boat's seaworthy. It's not taking on water, and she's equipped for the conditions down there, we believe," said Mick Kinley of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

Hang on kiddo...helps a coming. Oh and to all you natering naybobs of negativity, nanny state loving, naysayers "tut tutting" about a 16 year old at sea alone....bite me. Yeah, I'm talking to you Bill Carroll.
