Walking on Water

On 5 September 1984, eighteen-year-old Geoff Holt dived into an idyllic tropical sea and his life changed forever. A broken neck cut short a promising career as a yachtsman and left him paralysed, with his horizons reduced to an uncertain future in a wheelchair.
On Wednesday 5th September 2007, quadriplegic yachtsman Geoff Holt, paralysed from the chest down, returned home to become the first disabled sailor to sail single-handed around Great Britain. It was an epic journey that took him and his seven man crew a total of 109 days to complete. He had sailed 1,445 miles and visited 51 destinations during one of the worst summers in history.
