Jesse Martin's amazing solo journey

When Jesse Martin was 17 he set sail to be the youngest person to sail the globe. His dream was amazing and he was amazing and he was very determined to accomplish it.

Jesse Martin was born was born in the back of a Kombi van on the outside of Munich on August 26,1981. His parents names are Louise and Kan. His parents were hippies when they separated. Jesse and his younger brother beau lived with the mum.

Growing up Jesse Martin was like each other person with a lot of dreams. Surprisingly sailing wasn’t one of them until he was thirteen. Everyone thought he was crazy. His meteorologist(the branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere) Roger Badham told him to call David Adams to see if he would change his mind but it only him wont to go even more.

On December the 8th 1998 Jesse Martin set sail on his journey as 20,000 people watch him leave.When he wassailing he didnt have any clue for how to work the sails. When he was departure his attempt but it didn’t start until Port Philips Heads.

Jesse went on his trip early for two reasons. Its because a man named David Dicks might break the record before he dose. Also so he could come back before his birthday.

Jesse’s journey was amazing and packed with adventure and not much shower. Jesse came back to Australia on the 5th of January 1999. It took 328 days.

Jesse was a great sailer that believed that you can achieve anything if you set your mind to it. I hope there will be a lot more teen mariners like him!!

  1. Hi Bobbi-Grace,
    I agree, his accomplishment was particularly remarkable. I think it was amazing that he began dreaming about this when he was only 13!

    I'm sure if you went back and checked up on this you will be able to find and fix your errors. Have a go.
