Sailing the Impossible Dream
Geoff Holt has just become the first quadriplegic person to sail
solo across the Atlantic.
In 1984, when he was
18 years old, Geoff broke his neck after diving into the sea off a beach in the British Virgin Islands.
He was left effectively paralysed from the chest down.
Geoff's pioneering
28 day voyage from Lanzarote
on his boat Impossible Dream ended on the same beach where his life changing accident happened.
Matthew
Bannister spoke to
Geoff after he arrived back in the UK,
and Geoff told
him
how he'd been passionate about sailing from a very early age
