Barack Obama's supporters claim, and rightfully so, that his mother, Ann Dunham, was a very intelligent, capable, determined and adventuresome woman. (For example, see Janny Scott's book, 'A Singular Woman - The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother')
Yet, they illogically insist that it would have been virtually IMPOSSIBLE for her at age 18 to have boarded a cruise ship by herself and pregnant in Hawaii in the Spring of 1961, made a leisurely trip to Kenya, had a baby at the well-equipped Coast Province General Hospital in Mombasa on August 4th, and then made the approximate 36 hour airline flight back to the West Coast of the North American continent in mid to late August in time to start Fall extension classes at the University of Washington in Seattle.
As an alternative to making the ENTIRE TRIP back to the U.S.A. from Kenya by air, Ann could have first easily and comfortably taken a 3 week sea voyage from Mombasa to London, via the Suez Canal route, and then taken an airline trip back to the West Coast of the North American continent.
ANN DUNHAM DEFINITELY COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE ABOVE OUTLINED TRIP TO KENYA.
Consider the following amazing story of Jessica Watson's solo sailing trip around the world, at age 16, back in May 2010.
Ann's trip to Kenya in 1961 seems PRETTY TAME in comparison to Jessica's challenging 7 month long voyage!
