A Journey of the Human Spirit
On October 31, 1999, Jesse Martin, in his yacht "Lionheart", completed the last great adventure of the twentieth century becoming the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world. He was eighteen years old and didn't know the meaning of impossible. After 50,000 kilometres and 328 days at sea, he returned home to Port Phillip Bay and a waiting crowd of twenty thousand onlookers, having lived his dream.
This is Jesse's story. A story of courage and determination, danger, loneliness and joy. But above all, it's a story full of wonder at our capacity as human beings to stretch way beyond our reach and attain the seemingly unattainable.
