EVERYONE RELIEVED TO HEAR THE LATEST UPDATE ON ABBY

11-Jun-2010

Jessica Watson, her family and team were all relieved to hear the good news late this afternoon, that 16 year old solo sailor Abby Sunderland had been located and is safe, despite being dismasted in the Indian Ocean.

A multi-national search and rescue operation had been launched after emergency beacons onboard Abby's boat were triggered when the American adventurer ran into huge waves early this morning

It is no doubt a massive relief for all of Abby’s family and team, who have had a very difficult day waiting on information from rescue authorities.  

The good news on Abby was a nice way to finish the week for Jessica, who can now enjoy a well-deserved weekend away with friends.
