I am sure that all of these arguments have been played out on forums/blogs/interviews/etc around the globe but personally I am in humble admiration of her deep desire to sail around the world and the fact that she was able to pull off 7 months of isolation in a physical sense (I know she did have daily contact) to sail into Sydney Harbour and get up in front of an international audience and come across so clearly and humbly. So the circumference of the globe at the equator is X. She didn't sail X in a straight line and isn't over 18 so can't get a record. Technical bummer but I couldn't care if she made a beeline for Antarctica and sailed around it (therefore sailing around the globe). What she achieved has inspired me to be a more positive person. So far this week that has already been tested and maybe it wont last for long but she has made a difference to my life by doing something that the overwhleming majority of us couldn't achieve at any age irrespective of our sailing prowess.
