Jessica Watson

Feeling a bit hung over from yesterday night (I didnt really drank that much alc but then again I didnt drink much water either) I didnt do much today apart from some laundry and watching Jessica Watson's homecoming.
She became the youngest person (16) to sail solo, non stop and unassisted around the world in just 7 months. The event was broadcasted by at least 5 TV stations simultaneously and there were hundreds of ships and even Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the NSW's Premier Kristina Keneally out on Sydney Harbour to welcome her.
After she had crossed the finish line customs boarded her ship "Pink Lady" to stamp her passport before the TV crew and a skipper stepped onto the boat.
Apperantly she ran out of some food and the crew brought a bag of goodies along. So you could see her sitting on deck giving an interview while enjoying some whipped cream out of the spray can.
