Jessica Watson, 16, sails past the finish line at the entrance to Sydney Harbour in her yacht, Ella’s Pink Lady, on Saturday, capping off a nearly 23,000-nautical-mile voyage that many thought she wouldn’t survive. Watson sailed out of Sydney on October 18. She is the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around the world. PHOTO: Reuters
