In May 2010, Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old Australian sailor, set off on a daring adventure to become the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around the world. Facing fierce oceans, extreme weather, and the skepticism of many, she navigated over 23,000 nautical miles. Her resilience and determination led her to conquer monumental challenges, eventually returning to a hero's welcome in Sydney Harbor after 210 days at sea. Jessica's incredible journey became an inspiration, showcasing the power of youthful ambition, tenacity, and the pursuit of dreams. Jessica Watson wrote a book, named “True Spirit”, where she shares her experience. Her story was dramatized in the movie “True Spirit” this year (2023) on Netflix.
