This is a picture Jessica took of herself as she was rounding Cape Horn and I thought it showed her in a very reflective mood.
On Thursday 21st January 2010, Jessica Watson experienced a violent storm overnight with wind gusts of up to 70 knots and a swell of 7-10 metres, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Despite the horrific conditions and some minor damage, the good news is that both Jessica and Ella’s Pink Lady have fared well.
The winds have now abated and the dolphins have returned. She is sailing along in more pleasant conditions with a 10 knot breeze and a 3 metre swell.
Jessica is now cleaning up all the mess topside and is about to catch up on some sleep.
Hey Sam, just checking in to see your new art and COMPLIMENT you! We enjoy what you're sharing with Jesse and crew and all of us. Thank You!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think "impervious" is a very good self- description of whomever posted earlier!
Hello everyone, I hope you're all well.
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for taking the time to visit and comment on my blog and for all your kind words of support and encouragement. While I truly appreciate them all, I also welcome negative comments. I don't stress over small stuff as they only serve to provide balance in my life.
Thanks again and have a great day everyone. Take care and bye for now...Sam
Sam,
ReplyDeleteYou already are well-balanced; just the fact that you're giving of your precious time in addition to the many other things you're involved in or are interested in. And, you're also showing support for Dilip and Abby Sunderland, so we can see you respect their efforts. Let's all remember, too, that Sam has a real job. She's a nurse, and she wouldn't be one if she wasn't caring and compassionate, and UNSELFISH!!!!!! And, her time is limited, unlike many of us who are retired or currently out of work.
I can't believe that anyone, any one at all, could be so narrow-minded, and obviously a self-proclaimed psychic, presuming to know what your motive is for all of this wonderful artwork. How judgmental can one be, hope he, or she, is prepared to be judged in the same way he, or she, is judging you or others! I find it hard to imagine how someone like that can live with him/her self, being so negative about things that are definitely very positive, and lovely to behold!!
Just ignore people like that, and believe in all the supportive comments that you receive on Jessica's blog, and I'm sure that there are many who haven't contributed to the blog, but who have seen them and really love them too!!!!!
We appreciate every last one of them, and the valuable time you must spend creating them! (I STILL THINK THE COLLECTION WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL BOOK, ALL BY ITSELF!!! THEY PRETTY MUCH TELL THE WHOLE STORY, BUT, YOU COULD ALSO INCLUDE YOUR WONDERFUL SUMMARY OF THE EVENTS AS WELL!
THANKS, SAM, FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE ENJOYMENT OF JESSICA'S BLOG . . . AND, OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW THIS BLOG IS ABOUT JESSICA, IT'S JUST THAT WE EACH WANT TO HONOR HER, OR GIVE HER SOMETHING TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION OF HER ACHIEVEMENT, AND FOR ALLOWING US TO "TAG ALONG". UNFORTUNATELY, WE AREN'T ALL AS CLEVER AS YOU ARE!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND IGNORE THE CRITICS. JUST CONSIDER THE SOURCE!!!
ALWAYS A FAN,
Carol Florida U.S.A.
P.S. My verification word is IGNORI (appropriate, eh!!!)
Another great graphic Sam, Thank You.

ImPervious...an alias, no Profile available, who are you hiding from?
ReplyDeleteI think you are reading WAY to much into things.
Out of over a 1000 posts averaging say 450 odd posts a day and you are the only one that has a whinge.
Sam is simply using the tools available to anyone to do something that's creative and expressive in homage to Jessica's circumnavigation, she seeks no reward, these little drawings are simply coming from the heart, your comments are unfair and uncalled for and only go to undermine the fun of being a Jessaholic...
Lighten up...

☻ What a Larrikin you are ♣Impervious.
ReplyDelete"...childish and contrived as it is..." Well, imo It gets the message across loud and clear. Nothing like a bit of colour I reckon.
Pity the only colour know is in language.
Impervious,
ReplyDeleteOK, you've made your point and once again proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, there are always going to be people who will manage to find something bad in everything they see.
You don't like it but we do.
Sam, keep on keeping on.
