She left Sydney on Oct. 18, 2009 in her 34’ Sparkman & Stevens designed classic sailboat “Ella’s Pink Lady”, but had suffered minor injuries and some yacht damages earlier. As of Feb. 28th she had passed the 15,000 mile point and was in the Indian Ocean and all going well. For details of her boat and voyage go to www.jessicawatson.com.au.
