"I really liked this. Based on the true story of Jessica Watson--I remember when she did this at that time. It also flip-flops between her younger years and current, explaining how she came about doing this brave feat. There were a few tense moments, as you might expect. Some nice scenery. Interesting how her boat was set up. Reminded me a bit of "Adrift" & "All Is Lost." I'll bet many would like this movie."

"Nice story. "

"This true story was enjoyable and entertaining. I, for one, did not know about this young sailor. The story was well presented and you could not help but cheer for this ambitious young lady. As a parent, I honestly do not think I could have let my daughter do such a thing alone. This speaks volumes for the dyslexic individuals that know the struggles of education. As a special education teacher, I could not be more proud of this spunky little teenager who had a dream and so much determination. Sail on."
