    • ]]>     Geoff_Holt_Susana_and_digby_Playa_BlancaRecently  – I wrote a piece about Geoff Holt the quadriplegic sailor preparing to set out to be the first quadriplegic to sail the Atlantic unassisted. Well this morning he set out at 10am local time to do just that – and plans to arrive in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands in 17 days time. As well as the challenge of the expedition, this is a bit of an emotional journey for Geoff as it was in Tortola that Geoff had the accident that caused his disability in 1984.

    I only met Geoff a couple of weeks ago – he’s a fantastic guy, great sense of humour, and has a warmth to him that leaves you feeling like you’ve known him for years…

    Suffice it is to say that I wish Geoff and his team (personal assistant Susana and cameraman Digby) the best of luck and a safe journey across the pond!

    If you’d like to know more about Geoff you can read his story in his book Walking on Water
