- The Coast 2 Coast 4 CANSA jet ski team reached the halfway mark of their epic 2800km jet ski journey, and also rode past the most Southern Point of Africa, Cape Agulhas, on the previous days leg from Mossel Bay to Klein Baai.
- The expedition is aimed at raising funds and awareness for cancer and CANSA and is supported by SPAR and IT partner ACER. The team ran into adverse weather conditions as they reached Cape Town, forcing the five jet ski riders and 4 crew members to delay the 150km ride to Big Bay, and the subsequent journey up the West Coast to the Namibian border.
- It was great to see the guys pulling together and toughing it out. As bad as the weather was, we knew that it was going to get worse over the next few days, and as such we are relieved to have reached Cape Town before the worst of the weather arrived,” said Barry Lewin.
- The jet ski team passed the 1400km mark 60km into the 136km 13th leg between Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay.
Reflection When I read this article, I was thrilled to hear that yet another group is trying to raise money for cancer research. Cancer kills so many people in the United States and in the entire world that money is appreciated from anywhere it is from. This group jet skied around the southern most tip of Africa for this cause, and I am so happy that there are still people like them left in this world.
