Delle varie tappe che caratterizzano il giro del mondo in barca a vela, il passaggio attraverso il Golfo di Aden è, di questi tempi, sicuramente una fra le più memorabili e cariche di emozioni. Ai soliti imprevisti e alle consuete incognite legate alla navigazione e alla meteo, vengono infatti ad aggiungersi i rischi di un attacco pirata, nonché il pericolo di venir coinvolti direttamente o indirettamente nei disordini e nelle stragi che interessano l’area compresa fra lo Yemen e la Somalia.

- Description: Jeffrey Polnaja is an Indonesian adventurer, motorcyclist and author - the first Indonesian to complete a solo motorcycle circumnavigation of the world. Inspired by his son's question after the September 11, 2001 attacks about why there was so much conflict in the world, he sold his company and on 23 April 2006 departed Jakarta on a BMW R1150GS Adventure named "Maesa Adventure" on his "Ride for Peace" mission. The journey spanned Asia, North Africa, Europe, Siberia, North America, Central and South America, and Australia, covering 99 countries across all continents, with 97 reached via continuous overland travel. The journey lasted until September 2015, covering approximately 420,000 km. During the trip his motorcycle was stolen in Amsterdam, he was hit by a truck and hospitalised - doctors initially said he would never walk again - and was shot at in conflict zones. His second motorcycle was named "Silver Line"
