What a fantastic read, it makes me so proud to be Australian.

Hi Jess

It must be surreal to be celebrating this time of they year back on dry land.

Congratulations on being named Young Australian of the Year - you are a worthy recipient.

Kind regards

Sharyn

Jess,....I hope you and your family are OK with all the flooding going on. They don't cover world events very well here in the US. but my Australian friends have been keeping me in the loop.....The amount of devastation is very heart breaking....Best Regards... Richard in Maryland

Hi Jess, always happy to see news about you. could someone in your pr group please post a helpful hint on how to get your dvd here in the US? I have been asking from barnes and noble and still can't get it. this time last year i was glued to my laptop with equal portions of glee, fear, exhilaration and fear thinking about what was before you. never did i doubt that you would return safely home. though that last bit when you were in the never ending washing machine in the southern ocean was hard on my stomach lining. you really sailed that boat, sweetie.
looking forward to watching you on other sails. keep up with your studies.
i vote for you every day on the national geographic site. all the best.

You may never meet them all! The friends you have made in the entire world.

Thank you Jessica for the entertainment I have just had reading you last couple of months blogs. I regularily read your blog while you were sailing around the world and watched all the media etc when you returned plus enjoyed your book. But it has been a while since I checked your blog. So entertaining to read what you have been doing on land and congratulations on all the fantastic places you have now visited. Best wishes for the New Year and thank you for the wonderful conversations you have enabled me to share with my 14year old daughter while you were living your dream.
