Panasonic Australia Managing Director meets Jessica Watson to find out how she used her Panasonic Lumix products on her succesful bid to become the youngest person to sail solo non-stop and unasissted around the world.
Prior to Jessica’s 210 day trip Panasonic Australia MD, Steve Rust, met up with her to supply her with with 4 Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 ruggedised laptops to assist in her journey. Steve recently boarded the ‘Pink Lady’ again to catch up with Jessica to see how the Toughbooks faired. She describes them as ‘completely indestructible’, even when being soaked in salt water, and used them for a wide variety of tasks on board including forecasting the weather, email, troubleshooting problems with her team, navigation and even a bit of schoolwork.
