Dom Mee's secret expedition promises a world's first
Apr 12, 2005 13: 17 EST
It’s all very cloak and dagger right now. Ex-Royal Marine and maritime explorer Dom Mee has announced a secret new ocean challenge. The expedition aims to be a world first, but so far, we don’t know what he has in mind.
According to boat builder Justin Atkin, “It has been very exciting with men in black visiting the yard installing surveillance equipment and making us sign disclosure contracts. I feel like Q in a James Bond movie.”
“One of my hardest challenges”
Dom himself contributed to the suspense, and mystery: “The next expedition will be one of my hardest challenges to date that will test me to my very soul, success is not guaranteed as I will enter into the unknown in a venture not even tried before, it will be very technical and physical challenge”
The project will be very pioneering in keeping with Dom’s belief that to be called an explorer means to pioneer new concepts and promote the furtherance of knowledge. ExWeb will update the mysterious story as soon as more information becomes available.
Top designer Phil Morrison has been involved in designing Dom’s new vessel with his vast experience in boat design he has proved a great asset to the team. Image of Dom Mee and Justin courtesy of dommee.co.uk
