On May 15, 2010, after 210 days at sea and more than 22,000 nautical miles, 16-Year-Old Jessica Watson Sailed her 33-foot boat triumphantly back to land.
True Spirit is an inspiring Story of risk, guts, determination, and achievement that ultimately proves we all have the power to live our dreams--no matter how big or small..
It tells how a young girl, once afraid of everything, decided to test herself on an extraordinary adventure that included gale-force winds, mountainous waves, hazardous icebergs, and extreme loneliness on a vast sea, with no land in sight and no help close at hand.
Told in Jessica\'s own words, True Spirit is the Story of her epic voyage.
It seemed to many that she\'d failed before she\'d even begun, but Jessica brushed herself off, held her head high, and kept going.
Yet only eight months before, she collided with a 63,000-ton freighter.
Jessica spent years preparing for this moment, years focused on achieving her dream.
She was the youngest person to sail solo, unassisted, and Nonstop Around the world.
She had done it.
