Amputee sets Record with Solo Voyage

Posted by Craig Reaser on June 24, 2022 - 10:08pm


Man who lost limbs after being hit by drunk driver sets record with solo voyage around the world. "I lost my arm, my leg, and was financially ruined," says Dustin Reynolds, "but somehow, that led me to a grand adventure."    Dustin Reynolds made history after finishing his seven-year sailing journey around the world. Also known as the "single handed sailor," Reynolds completed the first solo voyage around the world by a double amputee last December, according to Guinness World Records.      "The idea to go on the record-breaking trip came about 4 years after the Hawaiin sailor lost his left arm and leg when he was hit by a drunk driver in 2008.  Reynolds said that the biggest obstacle was finding the money to pay for all the maintenance that his ship needed.  Crowdfunding made a huge difference. Although the trip-which includes visits to 36 countries and overseas territories-was originally supposed to only take five years, it ended up lasting over seven years due to COVID-19 restrictions and problems with his engine and transmission.    The sailor told Guinness World Records he was only at sea for 11 months, spending a good portion of his time on land.
