Zac Sunderland’s voyage has finally been completed. Yesterday morning the 17-year old California teenager became the youngest person to sail solo all around the world. Sunderland fended off hunger, pirates off the coast of Indonesia, sea storms and fatigue. His 36-foot sailboat, the Intrepid, first sailed off the shore of Marina del Rey on June 14, 2008, at the age of 16. Some of his friends were still preparing for their learner’s permit when Sunderland left. Then he endured his 27,500-mile journey from then on. Zac’s perseverance through his feat is just what America needed for a boost. That wasn’t a failure that was an ace. How ironic is it that Zac Sunderland became the youngest person to sail solo all around the world exactly 40 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Those are great examples of patriotism and leadership. Now there’s bad news and good news. The bad news is that there are still failures going on that I’m going to talk about. The good news is that the president of D.E.F, Zach Lowy will be here to show and tell all the possible solutions for the failures. Congratulations, Zac.
O.K now here are some monumental fails: 10 climbers just died on two Japanese mountains, now here is how to prevent that: stay in your home for the rest of your life. Two people died on the construction for Madonna concerts in Marseilles, France: first of all, never listen to any Madonna she will give you nightmares and migraines. Just like Amy Winehouse. Second of all, never go to France, especially Paris. Too much crime. Don’t get lured in by their elegant cheeses and chocolates. You have that at your local Giant or 7-eleven. Or if you’re desperate you could go to a French restaurant or Las Vegas. The last fail is about a gunman dressed as a priest who sparked a shootout around 5 A.M. yesterday in Jersey City, N.J. 5 police officers were wounded, 2 were severely injured, and the gunman and another suspect were killed. Here’s your antidote for that situation: don’t wake up or go on the streets at 5 A.M.
Well, it’s been 40 years since the Apollo 11 mission, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to say; “the eagle has landed” and step on the moon, and Buzz Aldrin became the second man to step on the moon (people sometimes or always forget about him). Look what’s happened in the solar system since then. Astronauts started construction on the moon, Pluto got fired, Fly me to the moon and Space Chimps came out on DVD, and NASA is constructing another plan to go to the moon again.

Hey Zac, let's hear you say, "And that's the way it is." :=)
I appreciate your fluid writing style and your choice of stories makes me feel more in the know. Keep it up. Best of luck.
