For 5 years he marketed swaps, options and other
financial products at first JP Morgan, and then Goldman Sachs.
Ever since he began work in the city he had been
looking for the right adventure.
When an advert for the race caught his eye, he knew
that it was the one. Having decided to do the entire race, he resigned
from his job.
Since
then he's been driving around Central America, learning some Spanish,
and spending an inordinate amount of time in the water trying to
learn how to surf.
He
has also done some important reconnaisance work for the Jersey Clipper
crew's Christmas in Panama!
Howi's
taste for travel and adventure was instilled by many family holidays,
and consolidated by a gap year that started with teaching in China,
and ended with 6 months in the Army.
His
sailing experience to date involves a few weekend trips with friends,
and it was unusual not to have a beer in one hand and a bit of string
in the other. Ideal training!
