Inspirational sailor & disability sports ambassador Geoff Holt MBE DL tells Shelley about his passion for the water. How Wetwheels was created to give all disabled people, including those with profound and complex disabilities, to access the sea in a safe, stimulating and rewarding way on board specially-built, fully-accessible powerboats, and how he's looking to 'Finish The Dream'.
Jo Eakin from Wetwheels gives Sir Robin and Shelley a tour of one of the craft, and Shelley gets some tips on navigating Portsmouth Harbour.
