Message For Julie,
Hi Jessica's Mum: I sent you a Comment recently as ANONYMOUS because I was having trouble Logging into my Google Account. Well I've resolved the problem, and as I said in the earlier Comment, I'm just confirming that I DID ACTUALLY Send the messages/Comments (as ANONYMOUS) to you and to Jesse, and that it wasn't somebody else sending fake Messages/Comments with My USERNAME ... (YOU CAN DO IT JESSICA WATSON). I hope you and Jessica don't mind me using Such A USERNAME incorporating Jessica's name: I thought that it would give her some extra encouragement ... (Not That She Really Needs It ...LOL... She's A Really Gutsy Girl). You All Must be Very Proud of her.

Good luck to you Jess. The whole world are crossing their fingers for you. I live in Sweden and look forward to when you enter your journey here. We will welcome you with open arms. Best wishes from Emma.

That's Really good news julie. it's great to hear that your brave daughter managed to set sail without any problems. She'll be okay , Julie: Jessica is a Smart Girl. I can tell that she is just from reading her BLOG. I would have loved to have been there to wish her well, but was unable. I'll be tracking her Online with Live Ship Maps.

Wish her All The Best for me. I've been having trouble logging into my google Account, so am sending this ANONYMOUS ... I sent an earlier message the same way. I'll confirm that this and the earlier message came from me when I can manage to Login to my Google Account, so you'll know that someone Else didn't send them.

Tell her I said, "You CAN and WILL Do It Jessica Watson !!!" ...

Jessica, these lyrics from Bob Dylan came to mind while thinking about the adventure you have embarked upon:

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young

Susan in Oregon
