Quadriplegic yachtsman
Geoff Holt has been paralysed from the chest down since breaking his neck when he was eighteen years old. He tells Outlook about how he has managed to pursue his passion for sailing, culminating in his recent single-handed voyage across the Atlantic. His destination was the beach in the British Virgin Islands where his life-changing accident took place.

He describes a city of fear, where local people no longer dare go out at night.
