The Crew
The skipper is a health-retired 'blue light' emergency service volunteer, where teamwork, safety, and discipline was essential.
For approximately 35 days, he will test himself whilst battling storms, seasickness, tiny cramped quarters, dehydrated food rations, and isolation from his family and home comforts.
The expedition will be the ultimate test of his endurance. Hopefully, he'll still be talking to the Parrot when they make it to the Caribbean.
