Teen sailor goes missing

[Tim R.]

The Dutch teen who was blocked by authorities from sailing around the world has gone missing. I would have thought maybe she went without permission but the boat is still there.

I am pretty much a live and let live guy, but circumnavigating is not something children should b'e doing.

From SA, shes been found.

Dekker disappeared on Friday after emptying 3500 Euro from her bank account, leading to an international hunt for her that ended on Sunday, when she was found on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten and taken into police custody. Officials are trying to figure out how the hell this young girl vanished so easily and made it so far so fast - maybe she's got what it takes for this kind of trip after all?

This family is in complete disaray. IF she ever is allowed to go it will be a disaster. I'm not even sure she wants to go...seems just too much drama.
