The extremely challenging work
was tempered by time with her
grandmother. Kiana grew up in
Brazil, but now her mother and
sister live in St. Petersburg and her
grandmother lives in St. Augustine.
“I got to see her every day,” says
Kiana.
Relaunched April 25, 2022, the
Mara Noka with Kiana and Lærke
aboard headed north, arriving May
28 in Masonboro Inlet. Kiana had
previously driven to Wrightsville
Beach while the boat was in the St.
Augustine boatyard.
Alizé Jireh, a 22-year-old
photographer and documentary
filmmaker from the Dominican
Republic whose work has taken her
around the world, joined the boat
in Wrightsville Beach in June. She
has never sailed, but says she has
dreamed of sailing the ocean since
she was a young child.
Post-holiday, Mara Noka could
be found anchored off the spoil
island south of Seapath Towers,
finalizing provisioning for another
transatlantic voyage, this one with
a cause.
