Laura Dekker... my new hero.

[@contentment50]

I just discovered this remarkable young woman and have spent many hours watching videos of her journeys..extraordinary! Thank you for sharing

[@dimtgco1428]

Certainly one of the most astonishing achievements of any human being. Not the sailing, the incredible rapid growth of capacity in every part of the human existence. Well,yeah, the sailing too. I have so many more questions. As a veteran sailor myself, with over 45 years experience,i can not match hers in the smallest way. At 65, I have a lot to learn from this wonderful exceptional person. I don't know where to begin.

[@PeterCasier]

Having made 7 transocean passages, I am in awe of Laura's accomplishments not only as a 14 year old but also as a solo sailor. True inspirational!

[@Axeman369]

WE have lost that, being with family and enjoying the simpler things in life What a shame!!!! It takes a 14year old to show us that!! God Bless You, nuff nuff peace and love

[@TimLewisAlamo]

Thank you for living life your way! Through your videos, you allowed this old Navy sailor to experience how I wanted to live my life.... but didn't. Take care, keep the sails full, and God Bless.

[@robertwiley3171]

It was very emotional listening to this Conqueror. Wow what an amazing girl. Her father did a very good job of raising her.

[@ben1NZL]

You are an inspiration for anyone wanting to follow their dreams Laura.

[@michaelfennell906]

What a Girl .. God Bless you Laura 🙏🙏 Michael Glasgow

[@FreedomForce100]

All the special conditions where united in her upbringing to make this possible but that was not enough. She still had to be a special kid with a uniquely driven mind and free spirit to pull this off. Her winning sailing competitions at a young age was probably a strong indication of a gifted kid but still: how many parents would let their 14 years old alone to the oceans? Unique and crazy family for the adventure of a lifetime.

[@007vsMagua]

The stars were lined up. In ancient Greece she would have been thought of as a Goddess.

[@chrislassiter1894]

I have followed Laura Dekker for years. She is quite amazing. We need more millenials like her and we would be a lot better off.

[@lylesloth1275]

so what r u tryna say, r u sayin im a loser because im a millienial who isnt like laura dekker?? lmk

[@timothyblazer1749]

She has a combination of persistence, competence, and emotional resilience that is hard to match. Her father taught her sailing and boat maintenance, her mother taught her vision. Neither of them "babied" her. That is how you do it. And that is how she did it.

[@garryhenry6979]

Maidentrip brought me here. Amazing Documentary about Laura Dekker's two year Adventure sailing around the world⛵️🌎

[@antenaseinterfacescb]

Very nice trip Laura. Congratulations. You are a force of nature.

[@zthde]

Laura I followed you when you started your amazing venture around the world. I did send many messages of encouragement to you. I would be so proud of you if you was my daughter 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Zamarae]

I remembered her while watching a movie about sailing. I finally decided to check in after so long and happy to know she did it! Awesome

[@vasileios_glystridis]

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO ..........GOD bless you

[@eddiequintero2936]

Your story is one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever seen on tv/Netflix I think? 🙇‍♀️ 🙇 🙇‍♂️ ❤, I will be reading your blogs/diary to find inspiration/motivation when I’m feeling down

[@Sean-bp6xb]

Great new note speaker moment. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊

[@MaximusPanin]

The power of the human spirit!

[@adschoonen1351]

Ik vind dat ze niet alleen goed kan zeilen maar ook goed kan spreken en ook grappig. Maar het lijkt wel of er geen publiek is, ik hoor niemand eens een keer lachen, is dat de bekende Duitse humor? Geweldige prestatie, ik heb veel respekt voor haar. Chapeau!!

[@jeffsiegwart]

I am very happy for you!

[@roelenriquez3257]

one proof that this planet is so small... God bless you girl...

[@AjSoApa]

Heros aint crazy, they brave ❤️

[@francisdrelling4060]

Laura is an amazing, and inspirational, young woman. She has accomplished so much - even overcoming a government that tried to stop her.

[@moment23]

Strong and inspiring woman. Thank you for sharing your story ❤

[@danielthomas3333]

Astonishing, fantastic, wonderful

[@zthde]

WHAT A Fantastic TALKER TOO LAURA DEKKER 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@911naimplate]

I'm such a big fan of this young lady. I just wish she had entered the 2018 GOLDEN GLOBE RACE. If she won it, that would be an equally as interesting story to tell. What an inspiration she is!!!!!

[@8redwhiteshark]

Amazing adventure and amazing lady!

[@caufra]

Wow really enjoyed this thank you.

[@marissatamayo3699]

Laura Dekker is a real hero.. hier is her blog with her adventures on the sea sailing around the world in Spanish.. Aquí estan las aventuras de Laura Dekker en Español.. elsolitariodelauradekker.blogspot.nl/

[@AN-cy7xm]

So impressive.

[@woghole2360]

Laura Dekker was the youngest person to circumnavigate the world with stops. But Jessica Watson was the youngest person to circumnavigate the world non stop at 16. A great achievement by both Women.

[@sealover5861]

And don't forget Abby Sunderland. Even if she failed she still sailed more than halfway around the World and is still the youngest person who has rounded Cape Horn alone. I admire all these girls and I have their books too, these books tell a lot about the difficulties before they could start their trips and none of these girls had rich parents either. It was indeed a little easier for Jessica because Australia seems to have a more positive attitude to attempts like this, and she pretty much became a national hero after she completed her trip.

[@tyforsyth7546]

@@sealover5861 Jessica had a mountain of negativity to wade through before she set off, including the courts trying to work out a way to stop her. Then on a practice sail she collided with a ship. I was actually quite disgusted at how the media were treating her. I was thrilled that she still went out there and succeeded!

[@sealover5861]

@@tyforsyth7546 Yes, you're right. And I've read her whole book, indeed a few years ago. The collision didn't exactly made it easier for her either. I just said it was "a little" easier for her than for Laura - but she was also older. Laura was only 13 when she attempted to go. Anyway, these trips seem to have been a "boom" then. I haven't heard about that anyone have tried to brake this record since Laura did it in 2012.

[@hansolo2121]

@Woghole If you have been to school you'll know that the age difference between 16 and 14 (!) is HUGE in terms of development. Both girls deserve tremendous praise. But Laura at her age was a bit more special and on a different level than Jessica. That is a fact.

[@woghole2360]

@@hansolo2121 i gave them both praises and called them both Women because thats what it took for what those two young women achieved. But your entitled to your opinion. About the age difference between 16 and 14 (!) is HUGE in terms of development. It just seems rather weird and spooky how you worded your comment. Because know one else has posted anything like that, very strange indeed.Enjoy your day!

[@agod5608]

you are absolutely awesome.

[@elizabethwinsor-strumpetqueen]

At the end of the day, it's fairly easy to make another child.... I like her she's tough and her adventure will stand her in good stead...

[@mustafayldz3563]

The winners are not those who never make mistakes they never give up. "He lives the peak of the summit which is worthy of climbing"

[@mbchudno]

there is a girl who had trully achieved great things in very early age BY HERSELF and yet our society selebrates people like talking head Gretta who threw tantrum at the UN by reading bunch of key notes someone gave her.

[@flobie1kenobi]

starts at 2:20

[@rorytennes8576]

flobie1kenobi yeah. we could do without the HYPE.

[@beerbelien6966]

De Nederlanders zijn gewoon gemaakt voor vaaren en jij bent een groot voorbeeld

[@hansolo2121]

@Beer Belien Niet voor spellen kennelijk. Het is 'varen' niet 'vaaren'.

[@imemyself2820]

My Dutch friends always hated when I called it "Holland", even though that's what we call it in Danish.

[@vos2040]

iMeMySelf yes but she may say it to make it easy for others

[@Bernarddehaas]

Instead of: No, do not do it, we the land of De Ruyter and Tromp should be proud of her. Bernard

[@FalseDusk]

What happened with the bird and the solar panels?

[@QQTrick1QQ]

It crapped all over them resulting in loss of power,

[@andersonfelizardo]

Top girl!

[@amyjane7606]

I read something about her on this reading app at school

[@MeanMaori534]

amazing

[@nervousstranger]

What's that song and her video?

[@henrykudlacz8888]

if somebody say: I'm not afraid must be Gurka or Laura Dekker.

[@wendykorteweg4189]

Laura Dekker never sailed solo. She was constantly accompanied by tracking boats to help her. Jessica Watson made a true non-stop solo trip around the world.

[@williammccoy7127]

Laura was not accompanied but she did have stop overs ,unlike Jessica, these trips were different ,i would say Jessica her trip was most challenging. But Laura objective was different then Jessica,Jessica wanted to make a record non stop around the world . Laura wanted to explore the world. Visit different places. That is like apples and oranges..

[@Rumble625]

Is she still married and living in New Zealand?

[@buffobuffopallo]

When i was 14 the only thing i was being told was:"study and go to school!".

[@johnmilligan6605]

and did this harm you in any way

[@rorytennes8576]

" I decided to stay with my dad. My sister stayed with mom" What can we reduce from.this ? The daughter that grew up with a male figure and influence , sailed around the world at 14 -16 years of age. The younger daughter did what? Now I'm not saying that only because Laura stayed with dad, that she gained all her bravado . However, without that masculine influence, do you think she would actually do what she did ? I seriously doubt it.

[@hannahaspn]

yes I do because she took the genes from both her mother and father, while her sister went on to still accomplish great things because she took the performing genes of the parents. it isn't who they grew up with its who they are and how much determination they had and what they are most suited to/like best

[@channel1channelone]

hannah O'Riordan it is both nurture and nature

[@joanherman9118]

I like it

[@frankdrebin5861]

There is only one Laura - so stay yourself ....

[@Axeman369]

My hats off to you miss Gangster gal oh shiiizzzz even Gangsters can't do that lol

[@davidexperiment916]

Bella

[@rorytennes8576]

right off the bat the hyperbole and the drama of the music and lights. by the producers. spoiled the whole mood. like an over- hyped sales pitch. Lets.see.what happens next.

[@Pete-qo7bv]

Solo and by herself???

[@Valkyrie11609]

Most people telling you this are very good at making speeches and little else. Not true with Laura. She is a doer. Not a talker. Die with memories. Not dreams.
