In September 2009
Glen Hardy was the first person
to have circumnavigated Hayling
Island as a swimmer pulled along
by an aqua scooter, a distance of
about 15 nautical miles raising
money for the RNLI. On Sunday 31st
January Glen, accompanied by some
of his support team,
Mum, Laura and Dad, Dave, along
with Eddie Ault and Jack Watts,
presented the lifeboat station
with a cheque for £400.
During Glen's circumnavigation, there
were
strong wind at times, gusting F8
according to Chimet. Delays meant
he arrived at Mengeham Rythe
Sailing Club at 9 pm, in the dark.
Glen was very grateful for
the advice and support from
various bodies, particularly HM
Coastguard, who phoned near the
end to find out if he was OK, and
monitored his progress. Also
to be recognised for their support
were the Hardy family and friends
on support boats, and Matt Smith
on his jetski, who could
get closer to Glen than the
outboard boats, being careful
about their props. |
