Yay!

I'm setting down the camera

for the rest of my show.

People keep asking me what

I actually miss from home.

It worked!

In the beginning,

I missed the refrigerator,

internet, having a bath,

having a shower,

having a bed that's not

salty and moving but, yeah,

after a few weeks,

I was used to it.

It's really normal now,

and, yeah, I don't miss a thing.

About being lonely... sometimes,

but you meet like a bunch

of people which

is the nicest thing.

You're all

in the same community.

It's like skaters and surfers.

If you see each other,

you just connect right away.

So, here we are with Laura

Dekker trying to crash me!

And Deana behind me,

coming up fast in the rear.

Okay, I'm coming!

We're picking up speed.

Look out, there's deer!

Laura Dekker leads the way,

but only briefly

as Mike Rule takes the lead,

oh there she goes,

putting on the Dutch sprint!

Yeah, these are cutter ants.

And look at 'em carrying that.

Look how strong they are.

Carrying them all

the way across...

These are our heroes!

Crossing the bridge.

Listen to that monkey.

You guys hear that?

You hear that noise?

Mike and Deana...

I met them

in the San Blas Islands,

and we've been hanging

out every day.

Mike, he had cancer a few years

ago which is when they realized

they wanted to see the world

in their boat.

They were really cool and just,

we like did a lot together.

We got the kids up here

on the bow, cleaning.

Get to work, you slaves!

I felt just like I had a family.

Just like a normal family,

and I was their daughter.

It was really nice.

We had been sailing

with another Dutch couple.

Didn't we get together for...

Dutch night?

No, we went... we went snorkeling.

No, we went snorkeling.

We went snorkeling first?

Because we love sailing

and outdoor water activities,

it just worked out that we

developed a friendship.

But I think it's a... I think

the sailing community

is a unique place

because normally people our age

wouldn't become close friends

with maybe

a fifteen-year-old.

It just wouldn't happen

under normal circumstances.

It was like before that,

I had a turning point.

In the Caribbean,

I could always turn around

and go back to Europe,

but by passing the Panama Canal,

I really had to go forward.

The Pacific, yee-ha!

It's just the point that

I really say I'm gonna do it.

From there, it just started

to get serious.

I am very close to the equator.

I have my Neptune crown,

and I'm giving him a pancake.

Behind me are R Sea Kat

and Double Diamond.

The excitement

is starting to build.

So, we're here,

just the three of us.

And as soon as we hit the

equator the party will start.
