Teen Solo Sailor Arrives in St. Maarten Fifteen-year-old Laura Dekker arrived in St. Maarten on December 19th after sail- ing across the Atlantic Ocean alone on her 38-foot Jeanneau Gin Fizz ketch, Guppy. Dekker was born on a boat in New Zealand while her parents were cruising, and spent the first four years of her life at sea. The Dutch girl took 17 days to sail the 2,200 nautical miles from the Cape Verde Islands to Simpson Bay. Almost exactly a year before, Dekker had run away from the Netherlands to St. Maarten to try to buy a boat there, after authorities in the Netherlands refused to allow her to embark on an attempt to sail around the world alone. She was found and brought back to the Netherlands. Eventually, the Dutch courts decided to let her attempt the feat. Michael Perham of the UK sailed solo across the Atlantic at the age of 14 in 2007, with his father shadowing him in another boat. Perham went on to complete a solo agreed that all goods and services for yachts genuinely in transit through Antigua & circumnavigation at the age of 17. Barbuda will be free of all taxes and duties.

In the wake of a year-long battle with Dutch authorities that sparked a global storm of media scrutiny, Laura now finds herself far from land, family and unwanted attention, exploring the world in search of freedom, adventure, and distant dreams of her early youth at sea.

  • Genre Bending Narrative, VALHALLA Tells the Tale of One Man’S Search for Satisfaction, Understanding, and Love in Some of the Deepest Snows on Earth
    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes.

Dutch girl, 16, becomes youngest sailor to circumnavigate globe single-handed Laura Dekker, 16 years old, has become the youngest person ever to sail around the world single- handed. She is from the Netherlands, but she says she may never return to the country because the authorities there tried to stop her trip. Laura arrived on the Caribbean island of St Maarten on her 38-foot boat, Guppy, and said she was sometimes not sure why she had decided to go on the voyage. She also described her battles with the Dutch authorities as a frightening and shocking experience and said she was discussing with her parents the possibility of moving abroad, probably to New Zealand. When she sailed into harbour at the St Maarten Yacht Club, aged 16 years and 123 days, she was met by crowds of well-wishers. As she left the boat, she was accompanied by her mother, her father, her sister and her grandparents. “There were moments where I thought, ‘what am I doing out here?’ but I never wanted to stop,” she told reporters.

The past year has seen a number of significant developments in this area, not least the growing involvement of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), whose impact was only just starting to be felt a year ago. Work has now started on 20 of the 51 industrial topics identified within the Monuments’ Protection Programme. Work on lead and coal is complete, and we are putting forward proposals for future management of 300 sites including 200 schedulings. Work is almost complete on the alum, brass and gunpowder industries, and is well-advanced on a further seven. At the time of writing (mid-September) we were still awaiting decisions by the Secretary of State for National Heritage on the 32 new listings and four upgradings recommended in September 1995 as a result of the thematic survey of Manchester mills. This was the first thematic survey to be the subject of public consultation; it is therefore disappointing that, as a result of the delay in reaching a decision, five of the candidates for listing have already been damaged or lost through demolition.

  • Laura Dekker
    Laura Dekker The Youngest Person to Circumnavigate the Globe Single-Handed Laura Dekker is the youngest female sailor ever to sail around the world alone. With her sailing trip, which she pushed through against many odds, she became a role model for courage and commitment and showed how to make your dreams come true. Born in New Zealand in 1995 during a trip around the world by her parents, Laura Dekker has spent the first years of her life on a sailing ship that her father built for the trip. She visited school in the Netherlands. At the age of six, she has started sailing herself and made sailing trips within the Netherlands for several weeks during the school holidays together with her dog. Supported by her father, she planned to sail around the world in 2009. But a legal dispute with the Dutch Child Protection Agency and several court decisions delayed the start by a year. In 2010, at the age of 14, Laura Dekker finally started her circumnavigation in Gibraltar, accompanied by great media interest. On her sailing yacht Guppy, she sailed to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal and to the Galapagos Islands. From there to Tahiti, the Fiji Islands and through the infamous Torres Strait to Darwin in Australia. From there, she crossed the Indian Ocean non-stop in six weeks and finally reached Durban in South Africa in November 2011.
