Leo Towed Back to La Gomera
Unfortunately following severe sea sickness, and a suspected stomach ulcer, Leo Rosette has been forced to return to La Gomera just days into his Atlantic crossing.
Leo is now safely back on land and being treated at the local hospital in San Sebastian de la Gomera and hopes to restart his adventure once he has been cleared to do so by medical staff.
Woodvale Challenge would like to thank everyone who played a part in recovering Leo and his boat Halcyon.
