THE CROSSING HAS COMMENCED!

Thursday 27th May 2004

The Crossing, Andreya Wharry’s world record-breaking attempt to kitesurf 70 miles from the Isles of Scilly to the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay, is underway.

Dreya and six of the world’s top 10 kitesurfers (including current world champion Cindy Mosey) and three windsurfers set off this morning from Tresco at 11am, and are due to arrive at Watergate Bay this afternoon at around 4.30pm.

For more information on their progress call Liz Long at the Extreme Academy on 01638 860840. Alternatively contact Jim Michell on the numbers below.

Don’t forget tickets are still available for the Fundraiser Party on Tuesday 1st June from 7pm at the Beach Hut, Watergate Bay.
