Jersey 2007<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Adventurous Activities – Day 1 <\/span><\/p>\n

Powerboating, Wakeboarding, Water Skiing, Jet Skiing and Abseiling<\/span><\/p>\n

(and just sitting on a pontoon getting chucked in the channel for some leaders)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The weather again played havoc with our programme, this time for the better, some would argue. An absolute lack of wind, not even a fart was forcast therefore providing a problem for our planned BloKarting. On offer instead was sitting on a pontoon in the middle of nowhere in St Aubin’s Bay, we did get powerboat rides, jet ski rides, and attempts at water skiing and wakeboarding though…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We even discovered an amazing talent when Ben decided on his very first attempt at water skiing in his life he’d not only stand up but go 2 and a half times round the pontoon for the next 5 minutes in a jaw dropping display of water skiing skills. I was disapointed he didn’t attempt the triple somersualt pike backwards though… Still there’s always his second attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The instructor was rather surprised too, “in his many years of teaching water skiing” comment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Abseiling was no change, but a none the less pleasant surprise. Despite the leaders harping on about abseiling on real rocks on NoirMont (real rocks a rarity on the 62nd programme) we discovered we were actually abseiling down a lump of concrete, an old German concrete observation tower to be precise. Better than real rocks i think…<\/span><\/p>\n

…cue some excellent photos.<\/span><\/p>\n
