On 30th June 2021 an awesome team and I completed the first ever full traverse of the Exuma island chain in the Bahamas. We cycled 75km along the full length of Little and Great Exuma before jumping in our Sea Kayaks and paddling 160km up to Norman's Cay, the site of Pablo Escobar's crashed plane. We wild camped on the way and the journey was spectacular, epic and incredibly hard and I am so proud to have completed it.

The TWAC is high on my list. I have interviewed a few finishers of this iconic 3,000 mile race.
There's something deeply alluring about the idea of casting off and heading out into the vast ocean.
