Abby Sunderland has been found, thank goodness. Safe in her small boat, Wild Eyes, which is afloat but without rigging. She is bobbing around, able to be spoken to on the phone, to be picked up in the next day.
The happy ending will happily have its day, at least for today. (I don’t mean to sound sarcastic. It’s wonderful. Crazy but wonderful.)
She will not resume her solo voyage. (Her family recognizing, I guess, that even great training, wonderful pluck, and digital safety devices, can be dwarfed by thirty foot waves.) (Kind fates should not be overly tempted.)
Now, we can go back to worrying about other parts of the world’s oceans, and other sea-travelers–pelicans, sea turtles, fish.
