Unique Sailing

Most of us would not pay much attention to one woman's plan of sailing solo around the British Isles, but there is something very different about Hilary Lister.

This 36-year-old Canterbury woman is a quadriplegic and can only move her head, eyes, and mouth.

Using just puffs and sips into a straw, Lister can navigate her 20-foot vessel specially adapted to her disability.

She made the statement "It is the ultimate freedom for me. I get out on to the water and suddenly my physical inabilities no longer matter."

This should be an inspiration for everyone; with or without disabilities.
