It was the summer of 2019. Guy had just turned 66 and he was ready for a new challenge. With no desire (or capability) to run multiple marathons, and being a member of Marlow Rowing Club on the Thames, he turned his attention to the water. Never one to take the easy route, Guy decided that he would commit to rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. He would need an equally ambitious partner, and his friend David, an extreme sports enthusiast, agreed to join the crew.
Having spent most of his life working with and advising entrepreneurs, Guy, with the support of David, decided to raise money for UnLtd, the charity that finds, funds and supports social entrepreneurs. The Entrepreneur Ship was launched!
Guy and David will set off to row the 3,000 miles from La Gomera to Antigua in December 2021. They hope to arrive in February, 2022. If they are successful, as records currently stand, they will be the oldest pair ever to row any ocean.
