Inspired by a mesmeric true story, ‘Kiting the Hurricane’ entails a spine-chilling narrative of how one man battles the most powerful force on earth while wrestling against his inner demons, to relate a deeply emotional story of survival. Soldier, sailor, adventurer, privateer, entrepreneur and writer, Dom Mee accounts that ill-fated voyage across the North Atlantic, a decade later.
After his miraculous rescue, Dom went onto formulate a four-member team that crossed the Atlantic in one of the fastest rows in history. A decade later, Dom Mee has made Sri Lanka his home and resides with his family, along the pristine coastline of Galle. Dom now seeks to explore and expand the boundaries of the global leisure industry with his newest venture, Kew Villas that are nestled along the shores of Boossa, Galle. His second book, recounting his eight year fight against piracy on the high seas is also in the pipeline, along with three further books that pen his adventures in life.
Kiting The Hurricane is available in paperback at VijithaYapa Bookshops, Barefoot Bookshop, MD Gunasena Bookshops, LakeHouse Bookshop and Makeen Bookshop.
Meet Dom Mee at his first book signing in Galle, on 16 January at Orchid House 28A Hospital Street, Galle Fort, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
