The southern ocean, winter, howling gale, stick in the water, rigging everywhere. That meets my definition of nightmare.
Oh yeh, towering waves.

HUGE. You can say that - but it only counts if she was mature enough to realize what she was getting into...I mean, seriously, some of the stuff we all did as kids might fall into the same category but were weren't in it necessarily because of our bravery. Some **** is just stupid.

The line between "brave" and "stupid" is often razor-thin.

Posts: 164 fort Myers, FL | Yes, and there is a lot of brain research out there that indicates that the decision making process in teenagers is very different from adults, in that teenagers do not factor in the consequences of their decisions anywhere near the degree adults do....any parent of a teenager can probably attest to that! This holds up even for those teenagers deemed to be "more mature". I am glad that it looks like this is ending well (though she is still out there in the middle of the ocean), but it hopefully should put a damper on the plans of 13 and 14 year olds with similar ideas (but considering the above, that has to come from the adults surrounding them!).

Unregistered | how about the lack of brain power by the parents to allow this? i know we had a lengthy discussion about this in the past, but if the girl perished, WHY shouldn't the parents be found as liable, criminal and down right stupid
yes she was brave to attempt it.. kudos young lady
i couldn't agree more with Jake, when i was a kid i did MANY brave, risky, uninformed things. looking back, i was "invincible" (aka - naive / stupid)
how in the world can a minor make an informed decision that risks their life? they can't possibly understand the consequences. | | |
