Adventurous Woman Profile

Jessica Watson is setting out to become the youngest person to sail solo non-stop and unassisted around the World.

Since Joshua Slocum first sailed singlehanded around the world in the late 1890’s, sailors of all nationalities and ages have been drawn to this ultimate challenge: The Everest of sailing.

Slocum’s epic tale of his voyage, “Sailing Alone Round the World”, has captivated a global audience of readers for over a hundred years.

Following on, record-breaking solo circumnavigations by heroes like Francis Chichester and Robin Knox-Johnston have captured the attention and the hearts of people all over the world.

Inspired in her turn by Kay Cottee, the first woman to sail solo non-stop unassisted around the world and by Jesse Martin, the youngest person to do so, Jessica Watson has set her sights on shattering Jesse’s record.

In the process, Jessica hopes to inspire young sailors, adventurers and everyone with a dream in their heart.

Born: 18th May 1993 on the Gold Coast, Jessica currently lives in Buderim Australia.

Attitude: Always make the best of everything, Positive, ask questions, lots of questions.

Interests other than sailing: Anything outdoors and on the water, camping, the beach, reading, cooking, weather, fencing, dingy sailing, boat design and CHOCOLATE!

The Art of Slumbering Under the Stars

My God, it wasn't just your run-of-the-mill gorgeous outdoor destination, it was a freaking, sparsely populated island in the Galapagos! "How could you people walk away from the sky and ensconce yourselves in walls. For chrissakes, come outside and sleep!"

Those were the thoughts that passed through my mind as I dragged my mattress off the rustic, yet sturdy, hand-cut, wooden bed frame and dragged it across the floor of the cutest little cabin I'd ever been in, and slammed it down outside on th… Continue

My next big adventure is the Princess with Passion in Petticoats & Pearls Event - 6 March 2010



I am so excited about how this event is progressing. When I first mentioned it to a friend, they groaned. Not because they didn't like the idea, but because they knew that I just can't help myself but want to do an event that is bigger than Ben Hur!

So I am very pleased to say that this day… Continue

Kitulgala-Sri Lanka

Last week I went to Kitulgala. It is famous for white water rafting-which I want to do but need a few more friends to join the fun. I wanted to enjoy the scenery and birds.

Unfortunately I had chosen the wrong date for birds; or I was not early enough. The hotel I stayed at was by the river and it was so beautiful. We could sit on benches in the back yard and watch the river; at night we slept with the lullaby of the river. The hotel staff was very nice and arranged a guide to accompany me to t… Continue
