| WHY WE LOVE IT! |
|---|
| Momentous and unprecedented, the story of a 17-year-old who sailed the world, touched our hearts and made us believe that if you follow your dreams, you can conquer the world. She details the extensive preparation she and her team made for the big voyage, her journey and the battles she fought along the way. When she sailed back into Sydney Harbour on 15 May 2010, after 210 days at sea, she was cheered in by a huge crowd that included Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. To many, Jessica was our newest hero. She disagreed, saying she wasn’t a hero, ‘just an ordinary girl who had a dream and worked hard at it and proved that anything is possible’. This is her story. |
