Ella's Pink Lady
Blue sky, fluffy clouds and happy day - commission

16 year old Jessica Watson sailed out of Sydney Harbour  on 18 October 2009 in her pink-hulled Ella Bache sponsored 'Ella's Pink Lady' to circumnavigate the world - For a full circumnavigation she needed to cross the equator for a specific distance, she crossed the equator on 19 November 2009 (Australian date), near Jarvis Island at about 161°40'W longitude, and rounded Kiritimati on 22 November 2009 (Australian date) after 36 days. Then she crossed the equator again at 156°20'W longitude, and continued south-easterly towards Cape Horn. She completed her journey on day 210 of her voyage at 1:53 pm on 15 May 2010 when she arrived in back in Sydney Harbour. Her 17th birthday was three days later.
