Jesse Martin...


Jesse Martin




Jesse Martin is a young sailor who travelled around the world solo. He sailed at the age of 17. He was pretty young to sail around the world. He is tough.

He has been planning this when he was 13 years old. He only had 2 hours to sleep because him and his father was busy packing Jesse’s stuff and testing out the equipment. Finally, his day has come.

There were about 300 people that came to say farewell. He thought that it was too much but it was worth it. He left on December the 8, 1998. Some people thought that he was braking a rule by sailing around the world solo in a young age. People could not wait for him to come back. He is really tough to go and sail around the world by himself. He went around the world for 1 year. But something happened. Jesse Martin came back a year later. Everyone was yelling his name. “ JESSE MARTIN “ !!!

He came back at January the 5, 1999. Every body thought that he would not make it, but look now, he is healthy and here. He is a hero to a lot of people now. He is a lucky boy.
