Her blog will chart her adventures, challenges and ponderings as she attempts to be the youngest ever. http://www.youngestround.blogspot.com/

Also this week, plenty of boat shows ahead, with Aussies making an impression in Monaco, heading to IBEX in Miami and hoping for more attention in Fort Lauderdale at the world's largest boat show's 50th anniversary event.
For next year's event, Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is accepting exhibitor bookings online. In time for summer, we present a close look at the safety stats and what we can do about ensuring time on the water is fun, not fatal.
