Dutch police seek to explain young sailor’s trip – Yahoo! News.

What is up with young people trying to do amazing feats lately?

This 14 year old ran away from home to the virgin Islands because she was banned from sailing around the world solo.  I commend you for wanting to do it so badly and hope that this experience only teaches you to have patience but 14 is way too young.  Seriously, what parent would want their kid that can’t drive yet half way around the world in a boat by themselves?

Apparently the record for youngest solo sail around the world is held by a 17 year old and a 16 year old is attempting to break that record right now.
