On Saturday the 4th September 2010 I will be participating in "The Wight Stuff”.
This is a bi-annual event organised by the Solent Skiers Association, who are a Jet Ski Club based in Lee on Solent in Hants. In previous years they have managed to raise in excess e of £40,000 for the RNLI.
This year they have decided to change their nominated charity to Help For Heroes.
Help for Heroes - Practical, direct support for our wounded
"It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."
The Wight Stuff, involves a fleet of 60 jet-skiers from all over the country circum-navigating the Isle of Wight, 72 miles, on their Personal Watercraft. It is an all day event, and is not a race but a heavily supervised cruise around the island. Whilst this may not sound too challenging, In previous years we have experienced truly challenging conditions and had to face 10-12ft waves and a force 5 gale around the south of the island at St Catherine’s Point.
Not only was the scenery breathtaking but the waves were as well!
