Imagine the way your wings start to fly with each different colored wave, still or turbulent, that surrounds you after that? Imagine sailing alone at 14 years old. Laura Dekker epitomizes bravery and tasting life at its fullest. The stoicism, the lightness, the courage, the relentless pursuit of dreams portrayed by the her real life journey is a magnetic watch.
