Australian teen sailor Jessica Watson says the Southern Ocean hasprovided the toughest challenge yet on her bid to sail solo around the world.  She is now approaching the most southerlypoint of South America, Cape Horn.

She has already battled wind gusts of up to 44 knots andover five metre swells during a storm on the Southern Ocean. However, someunexpected company kept up her spirits during the storm - a dolphin.

"Every time I looked out the porthole, it was stillthere with me, Jessica said."The amazing thing is, I had not seen adolphin for weeks (and) even more amazing was that this one stayed with me forover six hours, all the way through the storm.
