#72 - Olly Hicks - Greenland to Scotland by Kayak

Today’s episode of Paddling the Blue features Olly Hicks. His accomplishments include rowing solo across the Atlantic Ocean from the USA to England after 124 days at sea, and at the time he did it, he was also the youngest to row any ocean solo.

Olly also made the first row across the Tasman Sea from Tasmania to New Zealand, through 96 days alone on the notoriously wild southern ocean.

If you caught episode 68 with Patrick Winterton, you heard Olly’s name there where we discussed the 200 mile crossing from the Shetland Islands to Norway in memory of the World War Two Shetland Bus Operation.

Following the Shetland Bus, Olly and George Bullard pulled off an incredible trip from Greenland to Scotland.

Enjoy today’s episode with Olly Hicks!
