Thanks to Glen Hardy
Posted 03.02.10
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.
