Laura Dekker, a 14 year old Dutch girl will start sailing around the world on a solo journey from tomorrow morning. She has already left from her home port of Den Osse at 9:10 a.m. As his spokesman Peter de Lange confirmed.  However, she would start her professional journey after two three weeks.

Dekker’s had to make so many efforts before she was allowed to sail across the Globe.  A year back she was under state care for two months as her parents prevented her from going on potentially dangerous sail. And again it was in last October, she had to face verdict of Dutch court which ruled against allowing Dekker sail solo around the world, citing her experience for doing so. Anyway she would be allowed to travel this year if she fulfills certain requirement that court is asking her to fulfill.
