I posted this one the other day and while the quality is not that great as it was posted by someone that just videotaped it off of their TV. It’s the only segment that I was unable to find in the series that had been posted. It’s of her first steps ashore after coming up to the dock at the Opera House. A very emotional moment indeed as she greets her family after 7 months at sea, alone.
Jessica speaks to the thousands who came out to see her at the Sydney Opera House. And, she did so with remarkable style and poise.
