From setting up his company in the UK to relocating to the US during the hard-hitting financial crash of 2008, Ray's life has been nothing short of a thrilling roller-coaster ride. A wave of nostalgia hits, as Ray reminisces about his passion for boating that was sparked in the Lake District. His tales of youthful days spent on the sand dunes and swimming in the Irish Sea have a vivid charm that's hard to resist.
Captain Thackeray's tales of the Atlantic will have you on the edge of your seat - the white squall, the fuel crisis, and the ensuing struggle for survival. Amid these high tides of life, Ray's spirit only soared higher as he founded a non-profit organization for disaster relief by boat.

The Captain's philanthropic soul shines brightly as he recounts his work in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake. The challenges are daunting - the pandemic, decreased donations, extreme poverty, and hunger. Yet, Ray’s commitment remains unbroken, and his story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Join us to hear about his phenomenal journey and learn how you can contribute to his organization, making a positive impact in the world. Brace yourselves as Ray's life story unfolds - it’s not just about survival and adventure, it's about resilience, generosity, and humanity.
