SIMON HOWES

Simon Howes lives in Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight. He is a retired stockbroker and happily married with three children. 

In his 68th year against all the odds he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, solo and completely unassisted from Europe to St. Lucia, a distance of over 5,300 kilometres. In the process Simon raised over £100,000 for the Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Trust without any corporate sponsorship.  He broke the record for a transatlantic solo row to St Lucia by 43 days. Simon also became the second oldest independent solo rower in history to row across any ocean on the planet.
