Maybe these guys can help her out:Assuming she even makes it across the Atlantic. This is not a good time of year to sail that route, and the weather is already nuts out there.
Somebody supplied that yacht - why not a solar plane? And it's not like she's going to miss any school!Flying Around the World in a Solar Powered Plane
The journey took a very long time—505 days to fly 26,000 miles (42,000 km) at an average speed of about 45 mph (70 kph)—but pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg successfully landed the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, after flying around the world using only the power of the Sun. Solar Impulse 2 is a solar-powered aircraft equipped with more than 17,000 solar cells that weighs only 2.4 tons with a wingspan of 235 ft (72 m). Technical challenges, poor flying conditions, and a delicate aircraft all contributed to the slow pace. Gathered here are images from the record-setting circumnavigation, undertaken to help focus the world’s efforts to develop renewable energy sources.

Maybe not the best time of year for a solar plane ride over the Atlantic. How about under it? Nuclear submarines are carbon free (if you don't count what's being exhaled/eliminated by the human operators)!the weather is already nuts out there.
A nuclear submarine is a submarine powered by a nuclear reactor. The performance advantages of nuclear submarines over "conventional" (typically diesel-electric) submarines are considerable. Nuclear propulsion, being completely independent of air, frees the submarine from the need to surface frequently, as is necessary for conventional submarines. The large amount of power generated by a nuclear reactor allows nuclear submarines to operate at high speed for long periods of time; and the long interval between refuelings grants a range virtually unlimited, making the only limits on voyage times being imposed by such factors as the need to restock food or other consumables.
Current generations of nuclear submarines never need to be refueled throughout their 25-year lifespans.[1] Conversely, the limited power stored in electric batteries means that even the most advanced conventional submarine can only remain submerged for a few days at slow speed, and only a few hours at top speed, though recent advances in air-independent propulsion have somewhat ameliorated this disadvantage. The high cost of nuclear technology means that relatively few states have fielded nuclear submarines. Some of the most serious nuclear and radiation accidents ever to occur have involved Soviet nuclear submarine mishaps.[2][3]
As we can see in the tweet below, it was rough on Wednesday. If nothing else, she gets some life experience in a hurry, if that will help? Following the other accounts in the above tweet, a youtube channel turned up:Assuming she even makes it across the Atlantic. This is not a good time of year to sail that route, and the weather is already nuts out there.
We’re Riley and Elayna, an Australian couple documenting our journey traveling the world by sail despite no previous sailing experience. We’ve been filming it all on YouTube since 2014. We’ve crossed the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific, and are now raising our boy Lenny on our boat as well.
We’ve suffered terrifying storms, pirate scares, financial breakdowns, equipment failures, water shortages, and other interesting mishaps but we wouldn’t trade living on the Sea and going where the wind takes us for anything.
And from the following BOAT LIFE: The Exhaustion sets in.. 5 Days at Sea. Ep. 223 | Sailing La Vagabonde I guess she might have the opportunity to be helpful by helping to clean and cook.Greta is not the youngest, it looks like they have a baby on board.
Yep, the data for this time a year (for a 50 footer), is dangerous at best. As the open seas takes no prisoners.This is not a good time of year to sail that route, and the weather is already nuts out there.
The forecast isn't too bad and these people who sail the boat have experience, though not that many small boats cross this time of the year.Yep, the data for this time a year (for a 50 footer), is dangerous at best. As the open seas takes no prisoners.
