Quadriplegic sailor Geoff Holt has reached Dover on the homeward stretch of his attempt to be the first disabled person to sail around Great Britain.
Leaving Lowestoft yesterday morning, Geoff sailed to Ramsgate. The weather was so good for sailing that Geoff decided to get some more miles under his belt and left Ramsgate in the afternoon, arriving in Dover at 2015 hrs - a total sail of over 50 miles.
Geoff left Southampton on May 20th on a voyage which he describes as his 'Personal Everest', but his progress around the coast has been hampered by severe weather conditions.
Now that the weather is favourable Geoff is taking to the water every day in an effort to finish his challenge some time next week.

Geoff's Personal Everest Project has been made possible by sponsorship from law firm Blake Lapthorn Tarlo Lyons, who are providing the funds to ensure that Geoff has the necessary back-up team and equipment to make his Personal Everest attempt safe and efficient.
