Nick Bubb, Business Dev. Director, Fauna & Flora International

"During my first 1000 mile solo qualifier in the Atlantic in 2002 on a little 21 footer, I was working on the bow in a load of breeze during the night and was washed overboard. Long story short, being clipped on saved my life and I learnt a whole bunch of lessons right there. Nature doesn’t take prisoners. If you make mistakes and don’t prepare properly, it’ll come back to bite you.”
