She's Done It.

After 210 days at sea, Jessica Watson's boat Ella's Pink Lady has crossed through Sydney Heads, marking the official finish line of her epic around-the-world journey.

The big moment had been delayed for more than two hours due to 4m swells and a torn mainsail. She had been due at the heads at 11.30am (AEST) but eventually made it through at about 1.50pm.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

There is a place for all God's creatures, right beside the mashed spuds.

Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
