World Tour completed by sailor Laura Dekker


Miss Decker, 16 years and four months, he sailed for almost a year to date - January 20, 2011.
The cut it six months out of the official record in 2010 by a group of Australian teenager Jessica Watson who was a few days before her birthday gala 17, when he finished his journey on without stopping.
Parents of Miss Decker, Dick Decker and Muller Babs, his grandparents and his sister Kim, and a crowd of 400 people from good people - on the coast in small boats - welcomed when docked at 7 pm Saturday night.
It jumped and cheered as Miss Decker coming off his yacht, the Gobi, and waved.

"There were times when I was like, 'What the hell am I doing here?", But did not want to stop, "he told reporters.
"It's a dream, and I want it."
"His story is incredible," said one fan Miss Decker, 10 years old, Bill Judy, Connecticut.
"I can not imagine old people out to the sea itself."
I was in St. Martin with his mother, Merlen our opinion, a lawyer in Manhattan, who was on a business trip, but wanted to see the beauty Decker complete their journey. Both wore T-shirts and said, "Gobi rocks my world."
"My daughter and I follow the story of Laura, and I think it is incredible and inspiring," said Mrs. Merrill.
Faced Decker miss weeks of loneliness, and ocean storms and the fear of pirates while sailing, sailing on a yacht of 38 feet, all the while trying to keep up with their schoolwork.
But it will not sail in the record books. After the controversy caused when he announced he would try to break the record in a small boat of only 13, I decided to Guinness World Records for the recognition of seafarers' records of "smaller".
Miss Decker fled later abroad in 2010 when the Dutch child-care authorities had taken legal action to try to stop making the journey.
Won later in the legal battle for 10 months, promising that the judges will buy the biggest boat with advanced navigation equipment, with courses in first aid and dealing with sleep deprivation, and engage in a private school correspondence.
Unlike other young people around the world, sailors, Ms. Decker has provided several stations in ports to ensure the maintenance of your boat properly, and the completion of their studies.
He plays the flute, and it was easier to blog to play guitar in bad weather: During his trip, he was surfing, scuba diving, cliff and found a new hobby.
Miss Decker also complained of inspections and clear of boats, sails torn, strong winds, bed wet, salty and a collision with a cargo vessel near the two and some stowaways fixed: cockroaches.
"I became very friendly with my boat," he said. "I learned a lot about myself."
Among the most prominent of his 47 days of sailing in the Indian Ocean, which left her legs shaky when docked in Durban, South Africa, where I went back and forth along the sidewalk several times for practice.
While in South Africa, also saw his first whale.
"I dove right in front of my boat and all the water that was in my boat, and was not very nice," he said.
Decker grew virtually absent in the boat with his father, sailor, who encouraged his travels. At the age of 12 who left the Netherlands, Britain and back.
Not all young sailors, however, because they were lucky. Began to miss two months after the trip Decker Sunderland Abe, an American 16 years old, was rescued when his mast broke out in a remote area in the Indian Ocean.
The investigation was divided Decker Miss Netherlands, where his father was described as "irresponsible" and called propaganda. In the blog, wrote in the sea, has described his anger with Ms. Decker, the Dutch authorities, and after five games before the court and said that "the long chase."
Friday night, she wrote: "I want to be completely negative in the Netherlands, and I know that there are many followers I feel sad for them that I am not in any of the sailing, the hook or Ijmuiden Holland, they benefited from. A big party for all."
Called Mijn Verhaal (story) has written a book about two years of conflict with the Dutch officials before embarking on his trip.
Dicker said absent in the blog written during his visit he was very tired from the controversy that arose in the Netherlands that can be transferred abroad. Have a New Zealand passport, was born in New Zealand waters - on a boat - during the study, which lasted seven years by their parents. Also hopes to work for conservation, and after using the trip to raise money for charity Sea Shepherd.
