HAMPSHIRE quadriplegic sailor, Geoff Holt arrived in Port Patrick yesterday evening, the first Scottish stop in his attempt to sail around Britain.
Geoff, 41, left Peel , Isle of Man, in his 15ft Challenger Trimaran Freethinker.
The sea was much rougher than expected, but, having been weather-bound in North Wales for three weeks Geoff, pictured above is anxious to make up some miles, so he persevered, reaching Port Patrick, south of Stranraer, where he and his team are spending the night.
The next stop will be Campbelltown. He hopes to become the first disabled person to sail around Britain.
