16-Year-Old Jessica Watson Travels the World in Sail Boat

Young Jessica Watson is one of those teenagers who accomplished more than most people in a lifetime. She is one of those people who set out on a goal and do it, no questions asked. What was her goal? Simply put, she sailed the world all by herself at the tender age of 16.

Yes, for 200 days Jessica Watson sailed the open seas all by herself in her little pink yacht.
