Calling all fellow limeys, I received this today from Geoff Holt’s organization:
As you probably know, in December 2009, Geoff plans to
sail a specially adapted, 60ft wheelchair accessible catamaran across the
Atlantic to Tortola in the BVI, the place
where he had his accident 25 years ago. Full details of the project at www.personalatlantic.com
Last week Geoff was shortlisted by British Airways for a
Great Britons Award. If he wins, BA will provide flights for his wife Elaine and
son Timothy so they can be there when he arrives in the Caribbean
which will be fantastic. As of today, he is in 2nd place but
there are only 5 days of voting left. Could you please spare a few moments to
vote for Geoff. Just go to http://www.greatbritons.ba.com/users/5525 Anyone wanting to sign up to follow his Atlantic progress
can do so by clicking http://www.personalatlantic.com/user/register to
