AKEEM DURANT may be 18 years old but his knowledge and experience at sea rides on the same current of an old sea dog.
The SATURDAY SUN team caught up with the youngster who won this year’s boat race competition during the Oistins Fish Festival, the climax of Easter weekend, and he shared some of his memories of the thing he loves most – the sea.
“From young I was in love with the sea; my family was fond of the sea, and when my uncle taught me how to swim everything progressed from there.”
Durant is a hardworking lad who tried endlessly to acquire the boat he won the boat race with. He explained how he used one of his hobbies to cash in on his investment. (SB)
