Wednesday was a bit of a funny day wind was expected and a launch site inspection was planned for the morning. Dreya Adam, Simon, Steve, Colin, Tom, and myself set out to find suitable locations for filming photo's and launching for the big attempt.
Thanks to Simon Tom and myself nearly had to replace our camera equipment due to and over enthusiastic turn which covered us in water (just watch the gif below). The girls were preparing to Kite whilst we were out and on return we set of for Tresco. The wind never materialised so testing equipment, wakeboarding, and photo's were done instead. Slightly disappointing but the mood was changing. Tomorrow was not far away and the focus was on THE CROSSING. The forecasts look good and there is a chance that winds will be extremely favourable ....so here's hoping.  I will try and update more regularly tomorrow but this will depend on conditions and mobile coverage.  Going to bed now as I have to be up in 4 hours so enjoy the images below and post your messages in the guest book on the contact the team page.
