Hi R
Yes I was there to watch our lovely Jessica on her homecoming. As a letter by Keith Cieland said in the Herald, 'Jessica's 210 day round the world performance drives home the reality that great deeds are invariably accomplished through times of challenging loneliness in the face of threatening clouds of self-doubt, mountainous seas of self pity and shrieking fear of failure.
Her achievement stands alongside all explorers of time, space and ideas who have fought the battle of the unknown, whether in the apparent compfort of home, or the blistering rage of the oceans.
Her comment, "You've just got to have a dream... and work hard", encapsulates it all.
Thank you Jessica.'
Well I was there at Georges Heads, below, but actually took most of the photos from the TV at the Buena Vista Pub when she was delayed by rough seas. A bit desperate I know!
Cheers Clara
Ahoy Matey, you look great in you cap and glasses. Always liked that look. Cannot fathom what that trip must have been for Jessica. What a beautiful homecoming.
