Ever since returning home aboard Lionheart, Jesse Martin dreamt of being out on the ocean again. This time he wanted to take a crew of his friends along for the ride. It would be a wild and daring journey of fun, exploration and discovery, a rite of passage . . . but what eventually transpired onboard the Kijana was something altogether different . .
.
At age 18 Jess Martin was the youngest person ever to sail around the world non-stop and unassisted. What on earth do you do to top that?
Kijana was Jesse's next dream. Jesse and four friends embarked on a three-year journey of a lifetime, searching for paradise and wild adventures in exotic places. But somewhere between the vision and the voyage, life and human nature intervened.
'Kijana' is a warts-and-all account of what really happened - their adventures and euphoria, their disappointments and heartache, their fights and friendships - as the small crew navigate their way through reality. At times reckless and sometimes wise but always bravely honest, Jesse takes us once again into the remarkable world of a born adventurer.
