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 5 September 2007, after a journey of 109 days and 1,445 miles, Geoff Holt crossed

the finish line in the Solent and reached the summit of his Personal Everest – the first

quadriplegic yachtsman to sail single-handed around Great Britain.
