I say good for her and congratulate her for her achievement.
It's pretty awesome she sailed around the world, even if it's not official, though what on earth is with the media's hype? Sure she's done something quite amazing, though a quater-of-an-hour news special on each of the comercial channels, wtf?

Btw, does anyone know if she raised any money for a cause or something (I would assume breast cancer, though I didn't hear anything about it...)?

She wasted 7 months of her life doing something completely pointless and didn't even break the world record. What a hero.

I honestly have no idea why she is given the title of hero. Please reserve that title for those who did things for others. ie. Anzac soldiers, firefighters, doctors. She is brave and courageous, i'll give her that but 'hero'. pfft she did it all for self-gain.

p.s Is it just me or that she looks like Emma Watson abit? Must be somehow related.

I hardly think it's a waste of time, given the amount of money she'll earn from it. Papers yesterday said she stands to be worth a couple of million, from the book she'll inevitably write, interviews etc.


But you have better things to do. Clearly.

This sickens me.

Clearly you're eyes are in dire need of fixing.

If she was hot than maybe this would be newsworthy.

its an accomplishment but should be kept to herself...after all she did it for herself...otherwise its just a publicity stunt...i wonder why there was so much attention about it? someone leaked the story to the media

She's not a hero, just very determined.
