Well, we did it. Got up at 4.30am, an hour before the sun to windsurf from sunrise in support off David Tuttlebee and Cancer Research. Many thanks to Steve and Dave of The Watersports Academy for the most anticipated bacon sandwich and burger ever at our breakfast and lunch breaks. Thank you very much to everyone who showed there support by donating. There is still time to do so if you haven't donated yet. Sweet dreams all, I am broken, but happy.

PS. The BBC coverage of the main body of windsurfers at Hayling Island, with inspiring words from David Tuttlebee and Dave White is worth watching:

David, came up with the whole idea after a battle with cancer, to give something back. Unknown to him at the time, his cancer returned, yet he is still planning to take part with the help of another survivor and windsurfing legend, Dave White.
