People can say what they like, but I think Laura is a young person to be admired. She has courage and complete confidence in her own abilities. We read and hear so much in the media of the young folk who run off the rails and get into booze and drugs that it is reassuring to see the other side of the coin and those youngsters who are achieving, in whatever field. Well done Laura, and all best wishes for the future.
Laura thank you, great to see what you have done, and what you will do It would be great to see every child on our Ocean Planet being able to learn to sail. Enjoy our beautiful Ocean Planet.
amazing....Jessica Watson was 16, Laura Dekker 14......Jesse Martin was 18.....I'm 65 and scared of open water swimming...these kids tell me that the future of this world is in amazing hands.....and they all show that adventure is still out there, possibilites are endless....
She's generous with her time, answering the same old questions. I hope she can hang in and settle in here. Laura, if you are passing by Warkworth and want to go for a sail in a laser out to Kawau Island and have a look around just let me know.
what a fulfilment to make a drivers licence in germany with 18. cool and valiant. how much food did she have onboard, and could she make freswater from seawater?
emanuel Posse even if she meant the funner version. God I wish I meet someone like that when I was young. I always did what ever I wanted but I was stuck with friends in the system. Now I'm forcing her dream on my wife. Not that shes complaining. Its like forcing gold on a homeless person. But I doubt she would of understood what it means to sail around the world when she was 17. 25 and she's wondering why its taking so long, too set sail
Some money has to be behind her, her boat will cost to go through the Panama canal about 2000 dollars. The boat itself has to be at least another 30000 dollars, so that came from Daddy or other people, I don't know, but certainly came from somewhere...
was disappointed when at the end of her sailing she took with her a boomer -look like she pic up the dude on the street-the ugly always stay with the pretty girls.
Articulate, mature, & fearlessly brave young lady

I'm so glad she wants to call New Zealand home. I think it suits her personality.
I love this girl .
You have to love her enthusiasm for adventure.
Great words, well spoken, thanks!
A Hero and an inspiration to women!
She grown so fast....!!
I'm going to sail the globe...but I'm scared of storms!...Very brave indeed.

Great accomplishment no doubt.
terrific video , thanks Phil
Look again, at 0:34 he leaves with 2 shoes on, 1:55 he comes back with one shoe off. I'm curious about the story off our topsailor Bruno :-)
Adorei o vídeo. Obrigado pelo compartilhamento. Ate breve, desligo.

Brave girl I can’t even sleep in the hotel alone imagining ghost and sort of nonsense 😀
Great audio mate.
@Martin Delta just 4 years later :D fucking rocking lol
audio is unfortunately poor...
Modern day Christopher Columbus
Listen to what she says at 5.43 to 5.46 please let me know if i misheard her.
***** Yeah that's what I am thinking too lol.
Terrance Holzenberg hahahaha I think she said "Its actually nice"
She said sexually talking about the guy she picked up temperary but could be a language mistake. After all she speaks dutch or german is your American

I'm in the same situation that you were in when you were young... all my friends are way too stuck in their ways to do anything different
Bueatiful
wonder if she met jessica watson in her trip through oceania
+SpeedDemon992 They met each other for the first time in Australia in September 2015
It dazzles me that Professional Interviewers would not have protection when the wind is blowing, Anyone listening to just hears a roar of the wind.
would be great if you could hear
I agree.
Some money has to be behind her, her boat will cost to go through the Panama canal about 2000 dollars. The boat itself has to be at least another 30000 dollars, so that came from Daddy or other people, I don't know, but certainly came from somewhere...
what I like to know is why Bruno is running around in the background with one shoe on....what's the story?? hahaha Looks funny anyway!
she's amazing. so proud of her. but new Zealanders suck at interviews lol
She lives with a 30 year old german now on her boat
I love Laura, but she should see a dermatologist!
Why does that matter. She is beautiful as it is.
***** Bet you want some of that cutie-eh ? to late-the due she took on her sailing bang that,
***** your right
I think she has other interests than trying to look like some spoiled Hollywood-bimbo!
Snead Hearn I really don't think she is interested in gaining your approval

New Zealand wow embarrassing interviewers...
