Geoff Holt – quadriplegic sailor
December 1st, 2009
Every now and then in life you meet someone who really makes an impression on you. Last Saturday I had the honour of meeting Geoff Holt and his lovely assistant Susana…
Geoff was the fist quadriplegic to sail single handed around Great Britain – and is currently preparing to become the fist quadriplegic to cross the Atlantic unassisted with the sailing and navigation of his boat, Impossible Dream. Susana is accompanying Geoff to help with his personal needs
His boat is currently moored at our local marina. It’s a seriously impressive catamaran with his name all over it! The 60 foot boat has been purpose built by a fellow disabled sailor (on loan to Geoff for the voyage) – is worth, I was told, in the region of $3,000,000!
I wish Geoff and Susana a safe and enjoyable crossing when they set off on the 10th of December and are looking forward to following their adventures on Geoff’s website – www.geoffholt.com. Do please give him your support…
