Dutch Teen Sailor Sets Off To Cross Atlantic

When we were teenagers we spent most afternoons eating Oreos in front of the TV!

Laura Dekker, a Dutch 15-year-old, is setting off to cross the Atlantic Ocean in her yacht, which is another step in her goal to sail around the world one ocean at a time.

Dekker hopes to make the 2,532-mile trek from the Cape Verde Islands to the Caribbean Island of St. Maarten in three weeks.

We’re sort of scared for her!

Stay safe, bb! Don’t cut any corners!!
