It was pitch-black out and white water was crashing over the boat. The wintry wind screamed across the deck, and I could tell it was now holding up near fifty knots. Imagine standing on the roof of a car that's driving down the freeway. That's how hard it was blowing. At that moment, a huge gust hit the mainsail like a train. The boat heeled over to port as if a giant hand had smacked her down, and I tumbled over the top of the mainsail toward the water... On 23 January 2010, sixteen-year-old Abby Sunderland set sail from Marina del Rey, California, in an attempt to become the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop, and unassisted around the world. Immediately, her trip sparked controversy. What was a girl her age doing undertaking such a voyage? What were her parents thinking? Abby's critics predicted she'd make it a few weeks at most. But sailing south, she proved them wrong, and became the youngest person to solo around Cape Horn, the "Mount Everest of sailing." Crossing the Southern and Atlantic oceans, she battled vicious storms and equipment breakdowns—making one critical repair literally with a nail file and some string. Abby bested the wicked waters at the southern tip of Africa then entered the Indian Ocean—all twenty-seven million square miles of it. Even less than a hundred years ago, having your boat become disabled in the middle of the Indian's immense rolling reaches was as good as a death sentence. The odds are better now, but not much. It was here that Abby Sunderland encountered the violent storms that would test her mettle and her will to survive—and change her life forever.
"Look, Dad! A panga!" Abby called to Laurence as they made their approach to Isla Guadalupe off the western coast of Baja, California, the northernmost state in Mexico. The island was home to fewer than fifteen people, mostly abalone and lobster fishermen. It would be the Sunderlands' first port of call on what had long been a family dream: cruising the Mexican coast in their own boat.
Dusk was falling softly as Amazing Grace, the Sunderlands' Aleutian 51, slipped quietly past Isla Guadalupe's southern end into majestic Melpomene Cove. Laurence and Marianne, along with Zac, then 10; Abby, 8; Toby, 4; and Jessica, 3, gathered at the bow and peered up in awe. To port, orange-tinted cliffs towered seven hundred feet, sheltering the cove from the sea; to starboard, sheer rock faces soared skyward. Below, even in the gloaming light, Laurence could see fifty feet down through the green water straight to the ocean floor.
Now the panga Abby had spotted motored closer. It was the kind of long, narrow skiff that forms the backbone of the Mexican fishing industry, and Laurence could see a man standing astride the beam, waving both arms like a signalman.
"Hola, senor!" the man called. "Cerveza para langosta? Cerveza para langosta?"
Laurence flashed Marianne a puzzled look. Everybody from Southern California knows that cerveza means beer. But what in the world was langosta? As the panga drew near, the Sunderlands saw the answer: the man was a lobster fisherman and his day's catch was scuttling around in the bottom of his boat. Several dozen Pacific lobsters, rosy brown in color, crawled on top of one another like giant ants in a colony.
"Wow," Zac said. "Look at all those!" Abby, Jessica, and Toby peered down into the panga, fascinated.
"Ah, langosta!" Laurence said. "Lobster! Si, senor!" Mentally searching through his limited Spanish vocabulary, he came up with a number. "We'll take four ... cuarenta!"
The man's weathered brown face cracked into a wide grin. "Cuarenta! Muy bien!"
"No, espera! Espera!" Marianne called to the man, using the Spanish word for wait. Then to Laurence: "Um, I think cuarenta means forty."
"No, wait, wait!" Laurence cried to the fisherman, waving his arms. "Espera! Espera!"
But the fisherman had already begun pitching lobsters up onto Amazing Grace, where they scuttled across the deck like desperados in a prison break. The Sunderland kids broke into fits of giggles, bending over the new passengers to follow their progress and dancing back and forth to keep their toes out of claw reach.
Between the Sunderlands' broken Spanish and the fisherman's scant English, the Sunderlands wound up with a dozen fresh lobsters for the price of a twelve-pack of beer that someone had given them back on Catalina Island before they set sail.
Laurence gathered the lobsters in a bucket and assembled the kids in the cockpit where they watched wide-eyed as he expertly twisted off the crustaceans' heads and chucked them over the side. A pot of boiling water later, along with garlic butter for dipping, the Sunderlands enjoyed the first of three years of seaborne feasts.
In 2001, after three attempts, broken autopilots, and an IRS audit, the Sunderlands set sail on the cruise of a lifetime. Not a cruise where you book passage on a big liner, lounge in deck chairs, and gamble in the ship's casino, but cruising, where you sail your own boat from port to port and linger in the ones you like.
Laurence had just finished two seasons working as harbor patrolman in the Emerald Bay area of Santa Catalina Island. Harbor patrolmen are responsible for watching over the bay in which they are stationed. They take radio calls from boats coming into the bay and assign them moorings and also assist boats in trouble in their area.
Laurence brought to the job a lifetime of experience. Born in England in a town called New Milton, he had grown up in what he calls a "golden triangle" of sailing. New Milton is near the coastal town of Lymington, which is directly across the solent from the Isle of Wight, the original site of the America's Cup race. Directly east of Lymington is Portsmouth, the site of several major yacht races, such as the Fastnet and the Whitbread.
The son of a piano tuner who also ran a commercial fishing business, Laurence had his first boat before his first bicycle. It was a dinghy that he kept shipshape. From the age of about ten, Laurence and his friends would row the dinghy up the channels off the Lymington River near their home, beach it on the sedge banks, and hunt for seagull eggs. Then they'd build a fire and fry up the eggs for breakfast. While sailing with his father, Laurence developed a passion for the sea. At age sixteen, he finished secondary school—the American equivalent of high school—but decided against college. An outdoorsman all his life, he hated sitting in a classroom, so he decided to turn his passion into an occupation and began an apprenticeship as a boat builder. From master tradesmen, he learned every aspect of the field: sheet metal, fiberglassing, electronics, plumbing, welding, and both construction and finish carpentry.
By the time he was nineteen, though, a newly enacted luxury tax had begun to cripple the British boating industry. So, Laurence moved to Australia, where he worked in commercial carpentry and picked up a couple of boat-building gigs. He also became involved in music, with a band called Xyphoid, as manager, songwriter, and lead singer. The band enjoyed moderate success in Australia, so in 1990, they set out to conquer the music capitals of the world, including Los Angeles.
That's where Laurence encountered the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He had just cut some recordings at an L.A. studio and come away with an awful headache. While in Australia, he had discovered that surfing was great medicine, so he drove over to Venice Beach. Just as he tossed his towel on the beach and parked his surfboard in the sand, Laurence saw a slim, fit young woman in her early twenties sitting near the water's edge. She seemed to be keeping an eye on four teenage boys who were wading in the whitewater.
Wearing shorts and a T-shirt, the woman had long, light brown hair with hints of strawberry. Instantly smitten, Laurence angled for an opening. "You look too young to have such old children," was what he finally came up with.
The woman smiled. "Oh, these aren't my kids. I'm working."
She introduced herself as Marianne. A recent graduate of Cal State Northridge, she had a degree in psychology. The kids were from a group home for teens from troubled families, Marianne explained. She was their counselor.
For her part, Marianne was charmed by the blond, blue-eyed surfer with the Aussie accent. They agreed to meet later for a date, but neither had a pen and paper to exchange contact information. Laurence was so determined to see Marianne again that he used his car key to carve her phone number right into the leather of one of his high-top tennis shoes.
While Xyphoid showed promise in Australia and Los Angeles, the band eventually folded. So Laurence returned to his trade, opening Sunderland Yacht Management in 1990. He married Marianne the following year.
Later, as their family grew, so did Laurence's dream of family cruising. In 1998, when the opportunity arose for Laurence to work as a harbor patrolman at Catalina Island, the Sunderlands felt it would be an ideal way to test both their boat and their family for life at sea.
At Emerald Bay they lived on a mooring with no dock or shore power, no grocery store, and no laundromat. The arrangement gave them the opportunity to test the Aleutian's ability to generate solar, wind, and diesel power—and test the Sunderlands' ability to conserve power. The family learned to provision—or buy supplies—for two and three weeks at a time. They made their own water with an onboard desalinator.
The kids loved Emerald Bay. Most days, Marianne would row to the island and take them to the beach. Sometimes Zac and Abby would swim to shore or row Zac's little sailing dinghy over on their own. All the kids learned to snorkel, fish, and kayak.
But since Laurence's harbor patrol duties lasted year-round, the children also had academic learning to do. A little more than twenty miles off the coast of Los Angeles, Santa Catalina's rich history gave Marianne material for interesting homeschool lessons. Originally, the island was home to a native tribe called the Pimu. Spanish explorer Juan Cabrillo was the first European to walk the island's shores in 1542. He christened it San Salvador. Another explorer, Sebastian Vizcaino, rediscovered the island in 1602 and named it Santa Catalina after the Catholic saint, Catherine.
The next three centuries drew a parade of colorful visitors—from Yankee smugglers to the Aleut tribe of what was then part of Russia but is now Alaska. Pirates also favored Santa Catalina because they could hide out in its secluded coves. Laurence Sunderland preferred to charm his kids with pirate stories, while Marianne created hands-on science lessons about the island's wildlife, like deer mice and island fox, and history lessons about the Aleutians, who had come to the island and hunted the otters to extinction.
Living on the boat during Laurence's harbormaster years was the family's preparation for a real family cruise that they hoped might end with them sailing into Laurence's home port of Lymington. Before undertaking a long voyage, it was important to the Sunderlands to make sure the family could live on the boat and be happy and functional. In Laurence's mind, there would be nothing worse than taking your wife and kids cruising if they were going to suffer the whole time or be unable to adjust to life at sea. He wanted the cruise to be something that was uplifting and exciting, something that would draw his family close together. Both Laurence and Marianne also wanted their kids to develop responsibility, to see other cultures, and to experience the world instead of watching it on TV.
The most important part of the equation was safety. Laurence made sure the kids understood being at sea was anything but a lark. The cruising life can be quite mundane for long periods of time, but when things go wrong, they can go wrong quickly.
"Out there, if you're forgetful or disobedient, you don't get a time-out," he explained without theatrics. "If you don't tie down your surfboard, you lose your surfboard. If you don't tie up your dinghy, you lose your dinghy. If you slip and fall and you're not tethered, and the boat is moving and no one sees you, you could fall overboard and be gone."
On October 21, after a last push to prepare their vessel, the fifty-one-foot Aleutian cutter-rigged sailboat Amazing Grace, the Sunderlands—Captain Laurence, First Mate Marianne, and Able Seamen Zac, Abby, Toby, and Jessie—set sail for Mexico.
Laurence and Marianne were both amazed at how their children handled the passages between ports. They entertained themselves by building forts, reading books, or pretending to be Indians, and never seemed bored. At only two and a half, Jessica was the most sure-footed, having learned to walk while living aboard a boat. (As a comical result, on land Jessica rarely walked in a straight line.) Zac and Abby were both cheerful, eager to help with sails and lines and galley chores. But poor Toby never quite got over his seasickness. The Sunderlands watched him closely, hoping that he would rebound after a day or two at sea like the other kids.
One key element of the cruising life was shared responsibilities. Grocery shopping, for example, was an errand that required all hands on deck. Marianne, Laurence, and the four kids would pile into the dinghy, everyone wearing a backpack. From anchorage in the bay of Tenacatita, for example, Laurence would motor the dinghy to shore and from there the family clambered out and walked to the bus stop where they caught a jalopy bus to town. From Tenacatita, the bus rumbled through the dusty village of La Manzanilla and on to Melaque, a center for local commerce. Las tiendas, the stores, were squat stucco buildings with the proprietors' names hand-painted on the chipped plaster walls. Inside, Marianne and the kids dug scoops into oak barrels filled with arroz, frijoles, and azúcar (rice, beans, and sugar) and filled plastic Hefty bags with staple supplies.
Marianne showed Abby and Zac how to select the best papayas and bananas, and all four kids loved the treat of raw sugar cane, which they could peel and chew until it produced a light sweetness.
Once, in Melaque, a four-year-old Mexican girl, keeping her mama company in one of the tiendas, introduced Abby to the fuzzy yellow chick she was playing with. Abby fell in love and spent that whole night making a list of possible names for the pet chicken she was suddenly bound and determined to get. (Back in America, a couple of years later, she did get one: a free-range chicken hand-raised by a neighbor who had taught the bird to sit next to humans and nibble grain out of their hands.)
After all the shopping, the last stop was the tortilleria, where a chattering klatch of short, round Mexican ladies patted cornmeal mash into flat discs and tossed them onto a griddle where they transformed into soft, warm, chewy delights. Marianne would buy a dozen tortillas for seven pesos, and she and the kids would eat them all on the bus ride back to the dinghy. It was the kind of little ritual that lifelong memories are made of.
While the family could buy enough staples to last awhile, fresh food ran out quickly. Luckily, from Tenacatita they could motor their dinghy up a saltwater stream under a canopy of mangroves to an enchanting bay called the Aquarium because of its abundance of bright tropical fish. There were no hotels or businesses to speak of there, only a couple of palapas sheltering tiny outdoor restaurants. Once a week, a man driving a produce truck would rumble in to supply the restaurants. The cruisers anchored at Tenacatita knew this and would motor through the mangroves to buy his goods.
For the Sunderlands, the dinghy ride was always long and a bit wild, as they buzzed slowly under low-hanging mangroves flitting with blue-footed boobies and tiny, bright finches. Every now and then, the kids would spot a crocodile dozing on a bank-side boulder. But the crocs seemed annoyed by the humans and, slipping into the water with a single powerful tail-stroke, were gone.
Emerging from the mangroves was like arriving in paradise. After beaching their dinghy at the end of the river, the Sunderlands hiked across a sandy dune that led to the main attraction: the Aquarium. A shimmering turquoise inlet, the Aquarium's crystal waters were as clear as glass. A ring of sugar-white sand surrounded the inlet, and palm trees encircled the sand.
When the produce man arrived in his rickety truck, Marianne and Laurence gave the children pesos and watched the kind old man patiently teach the kids Spanish words for things like cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. Then, in Spanish, he would tell them the price and they would pay.
"Gracias, señor!" they'd chirp.
The Sunderlands loved watching their kids live life. There was no TV and there were no video games. Instead there were crocodiles and magnificent birds and people from other cultures, like the fruit and vegetable man with his colorful money and exotic names for ordinary things.
And with few stores and luxuries, the Sunderland kids learned a lesson Laurence and Marianne wanted them to learn from the beginning: to appreciate simple pleasures and, when no pleasures were readily apparent, to make do. For example, while cruising there weren't any bakeries with twenty kinds of donuts to choose from on a Saturday morning. Instead, there were dough balls with nutmeg in them. Marianne taught Abby how to puff them in the galley kitchen in a little simmering oil, then dust them with cinnamon and sugar. Not fancy, but a warm, sweet treat to remember.

Unsinkable is the autobiography of Abby Sunderland-a 16-year-old young woman whose dream of sailing around the world by herself finally comes true. Normally, I don't read autobiographies---they just don't keep my interest. But when I read the overview of Unsinkable, I was surprised at how interested I was to read this book. I love to read about mature, courageous young people who have a clear goal and purpose in life. Many teenagers don't have these traits and expect the people around them to hand them everything they need without truly working for it.
I enjoyed how the book was laid out-from three different points of view. The narrator helped by filling in the technical information and also giving background on media involvement, family history, and technical sailing information. Abby's point of view is more detail oriented about how she felt during the preparation of the trip and the day-by-day experiences she endured. After the grueling premature conclusion of her trip, there is also the point of view of view of those who helped save her. This is a unique way of putting the book together and it was just right for telling Abby's story.
Abby is a lucky girl to have such a supportive family for her lifelong dream. There aren't many parents who would let their child go into a feat such as this. Can you imagine sending your teenager out-alone-to navigate one of the most powerful elements on earth? The sea is unpredictable and volatile and there's no control over its erratic behavior. I'm sure Abby was completely prepared for most contingencies, but let's face it, you don't know if you are until the situation arises.
On the flip side, I'm sure her father was very protective and concerned about her trip. However, I got the impression that he subconsciously pushed her decision for the fame and notoriety that comes with such an attempt. He'd felt it before when his son made the same trip and it's almost like an aphrodisiac-he wanted that feeling again. You could feel his ego creeping in to almost every decision.
I found the book mostly interesting but it was a very difficult read for me. I have no knowledge of sailing and even though the authors spell out many terms and technical points, parts of the book were like reading a manual. I'd start getting into a section of the book when the authors would throw in paragraphs to pages of detail and I would just zone out.
You could tell Abby's point of view was told by a typical teenager with the jargon & lingo inherent in a 16-year-old. I would have liked to have seen more in-depth, maybe spiritual (since they professed to have much faith) insights during her journey. Yes, the experience made her see she was strong and courageous, but what made that happen?
I'm going to give this book 3 out of 5 stars. The overall story was pretty good if you could get through the technical portions and the father's desire for recognition. However, if you enjoy sailing or more technical reading, I think your rating might be higher.

Unskinkable tells the true story of sixteen-year-old Abby Sunderland and her remarkable attempt at becoming the youngest person ever to sail solo around the world.
Abby Sunderland comes from a family of sailors and adventurers and at the age of 13 discovered her dream of sailing solo around the world and went out to accomplish her dream in 2010.
You will join in on her story prior to her departure and through her account travel with her through her journey and adventures at sea and her dramatic rescue in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The book is fun and entertaining. And while it's not exactly my type of book, I can say that I enjoyed reading it, appreciating the challenges it takes to set and accomplish a goal and ride the up and down waves of faith, faith and desperation and come through to tell the take. I admire her courage and ambition in this true, real life story that tells not only what was happening to her along the way, but also goes back and forth to what was going on with her family, in the media and the world overall as the different events unfolded.

I just finished this tale of adventure, excitement and perseverance. I loved it!
Unsinkable, written by Abby Sunderland (with Lynn Vincent) is the story of how this remarkable young woman made an attempt to be the youngest person to ever solo circumnavigate the globe, non-stop and unassisted. She was in the news for several months during the early part of 2010 for her travels...so the ending should have been rather anti-climatic when it is a real life story - she didn't make it. However, the entire story had me reading each page with delight and feeling some of the excitement, frustration and fear that Abby describes from her travels. Cheering her on a year after her adventure was done.
Not only did I enjoy this book, I had to compete with my husband to have time to read it. He loved it, too! Next, my 11 yo daughter is looking forward to it. Admittedly, the technical terms tend to drag some of the material down, but I can highly recommend the book.

My feelings regarding this book telling the tale of Abby Sunderland's quest to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe were rather mixed. Despite being interested in Abby's experience, I had trouble staying engaged and ended up not finishing the book, largely because I had other pressing review commitments that were more in line with my interests.
In alternating chapters, the book is narrated from shifting viewpoints, including those of Abby herself, her parents, and others involved with her endeavor, giving the reader the story from a number of different perspectives. I liked the idea, but at times it felt a bit redundant, and I felt that while they were the most relevant, those chapters told in Abby's voice seemed a bit juvenile.
While I did not particularly connect with this is a book, I think that it would definitely be better appreciated by a junior high school audience. Also, those with a strong background in sailing would likely have an easier time with the book-I struggled a bit, as many of the terms and experiences were simply outside my realm of experience.
Despite not finishing the book I still give it three stars, as I think there is a particular audience out there for it, and it was not poorly written; I was simply not the right reader. It is also a very fast read, so even if you would simply like a first person account of Abby's fascinating journey, you might consider this one.

Did you know that the Indian Ocean is 27,000,000 square MILES wide? Imagine being stuck on a boat, in the middle of that vast aura. Imagine Being 16, with a broken mast, and a dead phone. Now you know what it's like to be Abby Sunderland. Abby Sunderland set out on an attempt to be the youngest person to sail solo, unassisted, and nonstop around the world. She baffled her critics, becoming the youngest person to sail solo around Cape Horn, the scariest sailing ground of all. It is no surprise, considering she has been around sailboats her whole life. On January 23rd, 2010, Abby sailed off from Marina Del Ray, determined to achieve her goal.
This book had some high and low points, one of the highs being the time when her family to a 3 year family cruise. Just them,the Amazing Grace ( their boat) and the long rolling waves of ocean. They sailed around Mexico for three years, lingering at the ports they liked the most. One of the low points of the books was when Abby asked God how long He had been planning her mast breakdown. Not cool. I also did not enjoy the pride laced throughout the book. Granted, she deserves to have a little pride in what she accomplished, but in this sort of a book, it is hard not to sound prideful even if you're not. I think the book was interesting, but I believe it would've been better had it come out 10 years from now. Overall, I think this book was an interesting book about a courageous 16 year old, and I believe it is a good read for anyone who has sailed before.

Recently, I received the book Unsinkable written by Abby Sunderland and Lynn Vincent. The book is based on Abby's true life adventure at sea. Unsinkable is about an amazing young lady who sets the goal to sail around the world when she is 13 years old. At 16 she heads out to do just that. Abby Sunderland tells her courageous story and wins your heart. Many judged her parents for allowing her to do this journey. I must say I recall hearing this story on the news and saying to my husband why would a parent allow this? Crazy! After reading the book you obtain a clearer picture of the family, Abby's dreams and see that she is a very capable young lady and her parents did everything other than keeping her home to keep her safe. Her boat was geared with state of the art of the equipment. The stories from Abby's sea adventure are amazing. You wonder how a person so young could live through such horrendous conditions at sea. How someone so young could keep their head in the game. You see that Abby is truly touched by the Grace of God. I actually, had the book at the ball field tonight reading pregame and it made me tear up seriously. This little girl went through a lot as she was out there and it made her grow up well beyond her years I am sure. Just being alone for that many days and staying sane is remarkable. Keeping her head on in terrifying conditions is outstanding and exemplifies her wonderful training from home and her strength. Unsinkable renews your faith , as it talks about the power of prayer. Someone upstairs was definitely looking out for Abby on this trip. I usually do not pick up nonfiction, but I really did enjoy this one.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

I am the mother of two young men 21 years old and 16 (almost 17). Would I have been trusting enough of the world to let either one of them at the age of 16 to travel or even set sail on the high seas on their own? With no support but a radio? Ummm Heck no! Do I think they were mature enough at age 16 to try such a task? Ummm again I have to answer - Heck no! Abby Sunderland comes from a large family and they have supported Abby and her older brother in their dream to sail around the world. Both at what I think very young ages. But Abby and her siblings come from a strong sailing family and she went through the normal training to get her ready for the trip. Maybe I am just too over protective or maybe I missed something in raising my kids. Whichever the reason, I have to give props to her parents for being able to stand strong while she was away on her excursion and for giving all of their kids the freedom to explore their dreams.
Whether you and I agree or not about letting someone so young go on such a daring trip is not what really matters, because Abby did and survived. Abby is a a really strong young lady not only physically (because it takes a lot of physical labor in order to maintain and keep control of a sail boat) but emotionally and spiritually.
When Abby first set sail, many kept up with her through her blog. For months she lived her dream and would let everyone know how she spent her days through blog journals. The day came though that her updates stopped and the family received no radio transmissions.......Abby had encountered a huge storm and now was lost at sea. Miles away from land and no radio communication Abby tells of what she endured until the day came and she was rescued.
Abby is an amazing young woman and because of her strong convictions and huge support of her family will be able to achieve any goal she has in life. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to any young woman or man searching to fulfill their dream.

I remember hearing of Abby Sunderland, a 16 year-old who was attempting to become the youngest individual to sail a solo trip around the world in 2010, as I am sure did many individuals who watched the news during that time. At the time of hearing about her solo-trip and her boat being de-masted in the Indian Ocean, I, like many others, looked at this as a media stunt orchestrated by her father as a way for their family to gain notoriety. I think the book changed my mind a little on the matter, but, as other reviewers have stated, I don't know if her family allowing her to make this trip at such a young age was the wisest thing to do.
The book was an extremely easy read, and I think, being a teenager, I enjoyed the overall theme of perseverance in the book. I think it will show younger people that hard work is still rewarding, and it will give them motivation to go after their dreams and pursue their goals in life. Also, it gives young people a real role model to look up to...someone who is famous for more than just being famous.

This is the semi-autobiographical account of Abby Sunderland, the sixteen-year-old American who attempted to sail solo around the world in 2010. The book is written partly in Sunderland's first-person voice, and partly in third person to describe her background, the preparations for her trip, and the trip itself.
I must start this review by stating that at the time this story hit the news, I absolutely did not agree that a young woman of that age should be allowed by anyone to attempt such a feat. Even after reading this book, I still have my doubts.
However, after having read this book, I realize that Abby Sunderland is not your average person. This is a story of a young woman who knew exactly what she was getting herself into, who had prepared herself as much as she could, and who had an amazing team behind her. The Abby Sunderland in this book is not the same girl who was presented to the world by the media.
Honestly, this should be required reading for high school students. Sunderland tells an amazing story of perseverance, of courage, and of sheer gumption. People who aren't sailors (like me) may get lost in some of the details, but the raw human emotion that shines so brightly here will be inspiring to anyone. It is also a story of the power of faith.
It's an easy read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know what the human spirit is capable of. Also, anyone who was even remotely interested in Sunderland's journey will find this book interesting.

One word to describe this book: amazing. I usually hate non fiction books but honestly, this was the best non fiction book I have ever read. The different points of view give so much dimension into the story of this brave young woman. She is open and candid in the book, something I appreciate very much. In case you have never heard of her story, Abby Sunderland is a 16 year old girl who set out to be the youngest person ever to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around the world. This book is about her journey, told from her point of view, a narrator's point of view, and the rescuers' point of view. Even though I had no idea what she was talking about when she started talking all the technical stuff, I really felt like I could imagine what she was going through at that point. Of course only people that have, or at least have attempted, to sail around the world could really know what she was going through. But I felt like I was right there on Wild Eyes with her. I highly, highly recommend this book.

I received this book shortly after I finished Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston, and was worried that another survival against the odds book wouldn't hold my attention. Unsinkable did much more than just hold my attention, I felt compelled to finish it and enjoyed every page along the way. The story, told from three points of view (each change marked by a unique icon), flows smoothly through both back-story and the main plot. To me Abby's story is very much a reminder of the fact that some of life's greatest lessons and opportunities flow from what appears to be the greatest failures. Further, the Sunderland's belief in their children and support of their dreams challenges us all to dream bigger, do more, and live; not just sit and watch the world go by on our televisions and computers. **I received a copy of this book free from the publisher, Thomas Nelson, through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program for the purpose of completing this review.

I really, really, really liked this book. And I've said before how I'm a fiction gal and usually stay away from biographies/autobiographies. I heard about Abby when I read Start Here by the Harris twins and they mentioned her in the book. It got me was interested in her story and I'm really surprised I never heard about it at all last year because it seemed like the media made a big deal about it. But I usually never watch TV and I never ever watch the news...
Abby's family sounds really awesome. I would have died of excitement if my parents bought a boat and we sailed around for three years. I mean, how cool is that?! My parents never took me and my sibs on a boat (except for that one time in Tallahassee, and that was so much fun), but I felt like I had a lot in common with Abby. She's one of seven kids, I'm one of six kids. She is home schooled, I was home schooled. She's 17, I'm 16. We're both Christians. We both have dreams that sound a little crazy to other people.
The book really did surprise me that I liked it so much. It was exciting and even though I know nothing about sailing, I made it through with only a couple of "yeah, I have no idea what that sailing term means, I'll just keep reading." There was a glossary in the back, but I hate those things and never use them.
I thought it was a great book, especially for teens. It gives hope, seeing what she did at such a young age. Or it might give you a kick in the butt to get motivated and chase after your own dream. For me, it was a little of both.
Way to go, Abby Sunderland!

With the support of Donovan Marine, Palfinger Marine crane dealer for the Gulf of Mexico, two Palfinger PK 11001 MC foldable knuckle cranes were delivered to Signal International in Orange, Texas to be installed on two newly constructed 126ft ATB tugs for Kirby Ocean Transport Company.
The cranes will be used for launching a small work skiff into the water and general maintenance as well as store stores handling. The tugs are designed to couple with coal barges for transporting coal from Louisiana to a power station in Florida. The benefit of the Articulated Tug/Barge (ATB) is that instead of having one cargo ship which has a big engine and a big cargo hold, the main propulsion part (tug) can be locked together with many cargo holds (barges) which allows for better utilization of the expensive propulsion unit (tug). Otherwise the whole ship waits for the cargo to be off/on-loaded.

A young man and woman were caught by a hidden game camera at a Foothills home late last month.
"It's incredible. It's really really good, you can see a lot of detail," Pima County Sheriff Deputy Tom Peine said about the video.
They were also seen approaching the front door. The home is burglarized that same day.
"Typically, it's the female who attempts to make contact at the door, then, if somebody is at the house, they will just come up with a bogus name and say, 'We're looking for so and so,' who obviously doesn't live at that address, and then they simply apologize and walk away because now they know the house is occupied. if not, then we see what happens," Peine said about both the behavior in the video and how pairs of burglars can work in general.
Pima County Sheriff's detectives traced the stolen items to a pawn shop and a short string of addresses that led them to charge 25-year-old Courtney Alanne Bailey and 28-year-old Adam Michael Baca with second-degree burglary.
But whether this pair was also seen in another video released this week in which the pair disconnected a surveillance camera while they looked around outside but don't steal anything is unknown.
"We're looking into that, we're looking into the possibility, it's really too early to say at this point," Peine said.
The story also served a reminder that the sheriff's department auxiliary will video record your items for you for free, so that you have a record of your belongings if they are stolen. That helps detectives trace the exact items that were taken in a burglary.
Detectives say they suspect the two may also be linked to other burglaries in the area.

Farina Review
True to its logo (a sack of flour and a fish), this restaurant offers consistently good fish, seafood, and homemade pasta. A special selection of seafood is offered Thursday through Sunday. Whatever you order, first you will get Farina's trademark appetizer of an excellent truffle-and-mushroom pâté to spread on scrumptious little rolls. There's a good selection of wines, including a great dry Prosecco that would stand up to any Champagne.

Notice to Readers Pentamidine Methanesulfonate to be Distributed by CDC
Pentamidine is used to treat patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) who have failed to respond or who have had adverse reactions to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Because of the unavailability of an approved product and the infrequent demand for the drug in the United States, CDC has supplied pentamidine through its Parasitic Disease Drug Service as an Investigational New Drug. The current incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has created an unprecedented demand for pentamidine (approximately 60% of AIDS patients develop PCP).
Starting in late May or early June 1984, CDC will distribute pentamidine methanesulfonate instead of pentamidine isethionate. Physicians and pharmacists should be aware of the change, because the dosages of the two pentamidine salts are calculated differently (Table 1). The change from one pentamidine salt to another is necessary because CDC has been unable to obtain assurances that the manufacturer of the isethionate salt can meet the increasing U.S. demand for pentamidine.
The indications for using pentamidine methanesulfonate are the same as those for pentamidine isethionate. Physicians in France and Canada have used pentamidine methanesulfonate to treat AIDS patients with PCP. Although results of such therapy have not been published, conversations by CDC with Canadian physicians concerning the outcomes of 13 AIDS patients with PCP treated with pentamidine methanesulfonate indicate that the efficacy and toxicity of the methanesulfonate salt appear similar to those of the isethionate salt. One published report has suggested that hypoglycemia occurs more commonly with pentamidine methanesulfonate than with pentamidine isethionate, but the number of patients described was small (1). The LD((50)) for mice is approximately the same for the two salts (2).
The doses of the two drugs are calculated differently because of the way the manufacturers have labeled their products (Table 1). Pentamidine isethionate is labeled to reflect the weight of salt present (pentamidine base moiety plus isethionate salt moieties), whereas pentamidine methanesulfonate is labeled according to the weight of only the pentamidine base present. Thus, 2.3 mg/kg of pentamidine base is equivalent to 4.0 mg/kg of pentamidine isethionate salt. Each ampule of pentamidine methanesulfonate solution contains the equivalent of 120 mg of pentamidine base dissolved in 3.0 ml of sterile water for injection. Expressed in terms of volume, the dose of pentamidine methanesulfonate is 0.0575 ml/kg.
The procedure for obtaining pentamidine methanesulfonate from CDC will be the same as that used in the past to obtain pentamidine isethionate. Reported by Div of Anti-Infective Drug Products, National Center for Drug and Biologics, US Food and Drug Administration; Div of Parasitic Diseases, Center for Infectious Diseases, CDC.

Orioles Shut Down By Young In 4-3 Loss To Mariners
Baltimore manager Buck Showalter has a reputation for having his teams well prepared for every situation. But, as he says: "You can't teach 6-foot-10."
Davis Homers In 10th, Orioles Edge Mariners 2-1
Chris Davis hit a leadoff homer in the 10th inning, Nelson Cruz also went deep and the Baltimore Orioles overcame a record-tying start by Felix Hernandez in a 2-1 victory Friday night over the Seattle Mariners.
Tim Booth Beat Writer For The Seattle Times
As for which players Seattle may be targeting before the deadline, Booth stated there are a number of possibilities.
"The latest rumor is that they have some interest in Drew Stubbs, the Colorado right fielder. There's been a lot of talk about Ben Zobrist from Tampa Bay as well," said Booth.
Young Hits 3-Run Homer In Orioles' 4-0 Victory
Wie-Yen Chen threw one of his finest games in the major leagues, allowing just five hits over eight innings in Baltimore's 4-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.
Dave Sims on Sports Rehab
The voice of the Seattle Mariners, Dave Sims, spoke with Glenn and Bob on Sports Rehab Thursday night to help preview the O's 4 game series against the 3rd place ballclub.
Jim Duquette Talking Baseball
Whatever the Orioles are thinking, they are going to make one and they need an upgrade. Miguel Gonzales has also been up in the air to trade from the Orioles. Although Britton has been doing well, neither him or Ryan Webb may not be the answer for the Oriole, pitching wise. Orioles should probably look into a left handed pitcher. Some names thrown out there: Mike Dunn, from Miami Marlins, and Brad Ziegler, from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Whatever it is, a lefty would be great but the O's are not going to give up Gausman or Bundy.
Royals Deal Paredes To Orioles
The Kansas City Royals have traded infielder/outfielder Jimmy Paredes to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for cash considerations.
Angels Beat O's On Bases-Loaded Walk In 8th
Kole Calhoun drew a bases-loaded walk from reliever Brian Matusz in the eighth inning after a tying RBI double by Erick Aybar, and the Los Angeles Angels pulled out a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.
Schoop's 2-Run HR Helps O's Beat Angels 4-2
Miguel Gonzalez took a two-hit shutout into the eighth inning, Jonathan Schoop homered and J.J. Hardy hit two RBI doubles to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
Gabe Kapler Joins Scott And Jeremy
After the homerun derby, there was not a huge change in the second half of the season, especially not for Adam Jones who has been shining for the Orioles recently. Machado is also getting back in the swing of things again. Davis is not the hitter who he was last year but when the O's need him, he seems to come through. Unlike the Tampa Bay Rays who had less than 9% to make it to the post season, the Orioles have a 61% chance, that is pretty high for the O's.

matintran I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Ngoc Linh during my recent stay in Hoi An. Her homestay is a lovely house on the outskirt of Hoi An, a perfect distance between the beach and the old quarter. Unfortunately, it was fully occupied with other guests so I wasn't able to stay there, but Ms Linh brought me to her sister's home nearby, located next to gorgeous rice padi scenery. A small house with a room on the second floor that has an attached bathroom and a good size, comfortable bed. It has two windows so plenty of fresh air. Very clean, completely relaxing and lots of privacy. There's a small kitchen on the first floor where you can prepare your own meal if you like. Ms Linh's sister and brother-in-law are nothing less than amazing. Very caring, charming and helpful. They will take care of anything you need, without a doubt. Often I would come back to my room and find a plate of fruits by my bed or they would come knocking on the door with local dishes for me to try. I certainly would not have enjoyed Hoi An as much as I did if I didn't stay with them. Truly a blessing. And even if you stay at her sister's place, Ms Linh will be checking up on you and taking care of anything you need. A lively, intelligent, and beautiful lady to care of you..what else could you ask for?? Thanks, Linh and your family for such a great experience!

Cockle We received a rather frosty reception due to the fact that my wife is Vietnamese and were summarily asked to produce our marriage certificate. That said, Vietnamese law does state that foreigners are not allowed to share a room with Vietnamese nationals unless married, so I suppose, in a way, this hotels moral stance is a good thing. The hotel is quite small as are the rooms we stayed in although they were clean and well maintained. After our initial contact the staff turned out to be pleasant enough. Nicely located being only a 10 minute walk from the waterfront, yet away from all the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas.

ramonafriesen A nice friendly, family home with limited english, so sometimes difficult to communicate. Very generous people, offering a good and filling breakfast, bikes, internet, and close to walk or cycle to all the sights but removed enough that it is very quiet. When I was stepping out the first evening, the man of the house offered me a bikie mad ensured I knew how to use the lock. It was very sweet. I recommend this place.

carmzlopez Good location, just in the middle of Hoi An. The staff is helpful and speaks good english. They dont have food so if you are fine with not having a restaurant downstairs then you will have no problem. The room is clean with hot shower and air conditioning.

Lionel A-A A great place to stay. Very close to the old part of town (tourist center). Step out of the hotel turn left cross the street and you are in the market and you are there. The breakfasts (free) are huge. You can choose three things. I recommend the fresh squeezed orange juice, the mushroom omlette with tomatoes and bread roll with coffee to follow. Sets you up for the whole day! The rooms are comfortable and very clean great shower. The staff are very helpful. They organised three hours fishing with no troubles. I didn't catch any fish but had a great time. I would definitely use them again. great value for the price $22/night

There are many teams that don't have receivers who threaten down the field. What that does is make defending those offenses a lot easier.
"You don't have to worry about guys running by you, so you can play eight-man fronts and not be forced to double the outside receivers," an NFC defensive coordinator said. "It makes it easier to play teams without the good receivers. When you play a guy like Moss or Chad Johnson, you can't be as willing to commit just one guy to them. That makes it tougher to defend the run."
Kansas City (24th), Minnesota (25th), Atlanta (tied 27th), San Diego (tied 27th), Tennessee (30th) and San Francisco (31st) have no real vertical threats. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who somehow are 14th in passing, don't either...
"If your receivers can't win, your passing game can't click," the NFC coach said. "That's the golden rule. And if they don't respect the passing game, it will make it a lot tougher to run."

Investigation into factory fire
Investigations are continuing into the cause of a fire that destroyed a partly built factory in Northamptonshire over the weekend.
It broke out late on Saturday night in the building on Norris Way in Rushden.
Firefighters from across the county went to the scene but despite battling with the flames for more than four hours they were unable to save the building.


text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 240849 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 349 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2014 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 349 AM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 Scattered high cloud continues to push NNE from central Texas between the upper high centered over the Lower Mississippi Valley and the strong upper low along the Wyoming/Montana border. Other more isolated and slightly lower cloud making its way northeast across north central Kansas nearly coincident with weak cold front from north central Nebraska to southwest Kansas per 07Z objective analysis. Low level jet of around 45kt at 500m AGL keeping winds gusty over western half of the area and temps well into the 80s in many locations. Hard to rule out isolated very high-based showers in mainly western areas through early afternoon where narrow layer of moisture around 650mb lingers, though at this point will leave chances of measurable precip at less than 15. Greater concern for convection is for the mid afternoon through overnight hours as the front continues southeast, but still looks to hang up over our western counties this afternoon, and recent 3-hr pressure change data of limited area of rises behind the front supports this. Area of better moisture convergence takes shape along and ahead of the front, but this -better- amount is still limited. Have kept chances in the slight range through the day with perhaps slightly better coverage this evening into the overnight hours as the front stalls and any outflows aid in additional development. High storm bases and limited shear still suggest spotty downburst winds being the primary severe weather concern. Temperatures and heat index values should again be rather high despite somewhat more cloud cover in deep mixing. Dewpoints look to be a few degrees above those of Saturday, supported by upstream obs, with 100+ max apparent temps anticipated for locations ahead of the front. Have only added Ottawa county to the going Heat Advisory given a slight uptick in thermal fields in central Kansas per all guidance. Have gone a bit above guidance for lows tonight with similar low level jet developing but not quite to this morning`s expected levels with the potential for evaporational cooling from any precip. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 349 AM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 Shortwave trough moving along the BC coast and into the Pacific Northwest early this morning will kick the Wyoming upper trough northeast into southern Canada by Monday morning. This will push a cold front south into the CWA and may likely bisect the area Monday. The front is forecast to lift northward during the day on Monday and move into Nebraska Monday night. The boundary will be a focus for thunderstorms particularly in north central and northeast Kansas near the Nebraska border. Expect temperatures to warm into the upper 90s south of the front and into the lower to middle 90s along the northern border. Heat indices again reach into the 100-105 degree range on Monday and will extend the heat advisory through 8 pm Monday. Models have been slowing the progression of the upper trough moving across the Rockies from Wednesday through Friday. GEM/NAM/ECMWF along with the GFS ensemble mean agree on the slower solution while the operational 00Z GFS is faster moving the through while the others slowly move the trough across the Plains Thursday through Saturday. This will delay the cooler air arriving although outflow from MCS moving across Nebraska will likely send an outflow boundary south into the CWA and could also focus some thunderstorms. Temperatures look to be cooler due to cloud debris and morning precipitation on Wednesday while southern areas will remain very warm. As a result of the slower progression of the upper trough and front will keep precipitation chances into Friday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Sunday Night) Issued at 1143 PM CDT SAT AUG 23 2014 Vfr conditions are still expected to persist through the terminal forecast period with only a few mid and sct-bkn high clouds expected. Confidence in any elevated convection affecting any of the terminal sites thru 12z or beyond 21Z remains too low to insert into TAFS. Prevailing south winds will continue at speeds generally under 10 kts before gradually increasing again aft 14z with a few gusts near 20 kts. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... HEAT ADVISORY from Noon today to 8 PM CDT Monday FOR KSZ010>012-021>024-026-034>040-054>056-058-059. && $$ SHORT TERM...65 LONG TERM...53 AVIATION...63

The Central Scotland/Strathclyde region
This region has a contrasting landscape of lochs, mountains, forests and coastline and it's therefore no coincidence that it's one of the most popular holiday destinations in Scotland. Its popularity is easy to understand when you consider the mouth watering attractions within its boundaries; which include the beautiful Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park in the west and the wonderful forests, mountains and rivers which are characteristic of Tayside and Perthshire to the east. The city of Stirling can also be found in this area, with its rich historical significance in Scottish history and connections to William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The beautiful and unique coastlines here, both on the west coast and east coast, are ideal holiday destinations. Stretching in the west from Oban in the north down to Strathclyde and the Ayr coast, and in the east the coast extends from Dundee and Angus south the along the Fife coast to Edinburgh.
The surrounding area of Argyll has an endless amount to explore including fishing, on sites like Loch Awe with its brown trout and pike or salmon on the River Orchey. It is also home to the Bein Cruachan mountain range. At over 3000ft, the range features several peaks including the 'The Hollow Mountain' which describes the power station built within the mountain itself. With a cavern the size of the Tower of London used to house a massive power station gathering hydro electricity a kilometre under the ground! The site is open to visitors almost all year round and truly is a one off experience. There is also an abundance of historical sites within the area such as the ruins of Kilchurn Castle and Conan's Kirk all with their own story of the area to tell.

Tanta Waa Coffeeshop & Restaurant
This super-chilled and creatively clad mudbrick cafe at Cleopatra's Bath is the perfect place for a cool drink or tasty meal in between splashes in the spring. The food here is surprisingly good, with a small selection of salads, pastas, meat dishes and fruit smoothies. The lasagne alone, which follows a genuine Italian recipe, is worth the trip out here.
