Kijana: The Real StoryAt age 18 Jess Martin was the youngest person ever to sail around the world nonstop 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. |
