(2010) Well she did it. After 210 days at sea, 16-year-old Jessica Watson swept through Sydney Heads to become the youngest person ever to sail solo and unassisted around the world. So much for all those naysayers who said she was too young and that the trip was too dangerous. Our Jessica conquered the great oceans of the world, facing down everything Mother Nature threw at her - ferocious storms, torturous calms and skyscraper waves. And that's just the start of this girl's own adventure story.
