From tackling the treacherous waters of Catalina to braving the wild waves of Molokai and the Gibraltar Strait, Andy's story is one of grit, resilience and a relentless pursuit of ambitious dreams. Not one to shy away from sharing the lows, Andy gets candid about the gruelling Tsugaru Straight in Japan, a challenge that was amplified by the restrictions of the Japanese Coast Guard and the strong currents.
