Isle of Wight Extreme Sports
Despite the sad news about the White Air Festival moving to Brighton for 2009, the Isle of Wight remains an ideal location for all sorts of extreme sports. The North of the Island is excellent for windsurfing or kitesurfing and has many areas where, with the right tide, you can stand up for a hundred yards or more. Even in a blow, Solent spots rarely get huge waves making them ideal for beginners and intermediate sailors. The south-east and the more western beaches of the island offer huge dwarfing white cliffs and Atlantic-generated swells for the more advanced wind or kitesurfer.
Paragliding is an example of another extreme sport ideally suited to the Isle of Wight and is probably the purest and simplest form of free flight. The unique Isle of Wight weather provides a large number of flying days. Combine that with 12 flying sites within a ten -mile radius and you’ll easily see why the IOW has become the training ground responsible for a large number of the UK's top pilots and has produced British and World Paragliding champions.
The Isle of Wight is much nearer than most people think! A ferry to Isle of Wight takes about 40 minutes and the FastCat passenger ferry from Portsmouth to Ryde only takes about 18 minutes for the Solent crossing. An IOW ferry on the Lymington to Yarmouth crossing takes around 30 minutes. That means door to door from central London can be done in as little as 3 hours tops (including the ferry crossing).The ferries are not only speedy, they are also quite frequent and run pretty well every day of the week 364 days of the year. Isle of Wight ferries will take both passengers and cars and if you fancy a bone jangling, ear dinning, 10 minute ride, then there’s always the hovercraft that flies from Southsea.
white sports on fish's mouth & body?????
I just got these fish today (didnt really notice anything when i bought them) I used a drip method to acclimate them to the tank. Now that they are in there im noticing white spots mostly around the mouth and some on their bodies.
What could this be & how do i treat it???
BTW>>>..they are small Red Morrow Tetra's. I have 6 of them in a 10 gallon tank with live plants that came from another aquarium.
Since the spots are mostly around the fishes mouth, I would suggest it could be ick, but also could be mouth fungus aka columnaris. If it's ich, it will look like salt sprinkled on the fish. in that case a good ich medication like Quick Cure will clear it up. Despite what the bottle may say, increasing the temperature of the tank to above 85F will help and yes, you do really need to treat for at least a week after you see the last spot.
If the spots don't really look like salt, but instead look fuzzy, it's more likely to be columnaris. That's a bacterial infection and should be treatede with a good antibiotic such as Furanase, Furan-2, or Maracyn TC. For that just treat as the package directs.
