Guys
A few words of wisdom......
It's a 13:00 low tide there on sunday and although i'm not sure what route you intend to take but you need to be aware that there are a number of tretcherous Sandbanks to negotiate a few miles off of Margate so take care.
It's very easy to get caught on them and if you are unfortunate enough to run up them to any distance it's almost impossible to get a Ski off on a dropping tide (you would need half a dozen blokes to pull a three seater ski faster than tide tide drops as they have a very shallow fall)
Happened to me a few years ago and it took three of us to pull my old RX off, we managed it but were all virtually dead by the time we were done 
Anyway Margate / Jetski World is a great destination so have a good one 
Nick.

When we left Clacton it was not too bad, After the wind farm it went like a babys bum, we stopped for a while and spoons went in for a swim, then as spoons said 2 miles from Margate it chopped up, well the ride back was a diffrent story lets just say it was hard work until we got to the wind farm and from there back to Clacton was murder. But will do it again this year.
And thanks to Terry at jetworks for the hospitality.
