A great day for you …. a better lifetime for them. Lifestart and AROC Sport have joined together to help make miracles happen for special children who need your help. On Sunday 30 March 2008, hundreds of paddling crafts of all shapes and sizes will line up on the beach next to Manly Wharf, getting ready to dash towards Sydney Harbour for the Lifestart KAYAK FOR KIDS event!
They have done it! James Castrission, 25, and Justin Jones, 24, have cross the Tasman Sea and reached New Plymouth on NZ’s West Coast at 12:20 local time (10:20 AEDT).
In doing so they are the first to kayak across the Tasman Sea. They have also just completed the longest trans-oceanic expedition ever attempted in a double kayak with two expeditioners. This is also the second longest trans- oceanic expedition relying solely on paddle power for propulsion and the fourth longest open water paddle attempted in a kayak.
Exciting news! Sydneysiders James Castrission, 25, and Justin Jones, 24 two Australian kayakers who have been paddling across the Tasman made up time last night and are expected to arrive in New Zealand tomorrow. The is great news for two guys who have given their all to their dreams of crossing the ditch from Foster on the New South Wales north coast to New Plymouth New Zealand.
With just 10 days to go and paddling for up to 12 hours a day for the last 56 days, James Castrission and Justin Jones are now really doing it tough. Both young adventurers are really feeling the effects of fatigue and illness as they kayak from Australia to New Zealand.
MEDIA RELEASE: Tasmanian teacher and adventurer Andrew Hughes has today announced a 4,000 kilometre sea-kayak expedition around Papua New Guinea. Beginning by paddling over 800 kilometres down the remote Fly River, Hughes will continue to the capital Port Moresby and Milne Bay before embarking on long stretches of isolation to the northern border with Irian Jaya. The journey, beamed live on the internet through www.expeditionclass.com, is expected to take six months, starting in May next year.
After 31 days at sea, a team of four rowers have set foot on Australian soil after completing the first trans Tasman row. Steven Gates, Andrew Johnson, Kerry Tozer and surfboat champion Sally Macready set out on November 29 from Hokianga Harbour, north of Auckland to arrive to cheers from well wishers at Sydney’s Neutral Bay.
Two Australians, James Castrission (25) & Justin Jones (24) who are attempting to kayak to New Zealand are back on track after a harrowing night which saw their rudder disabled and wild 30-knot winds pound their craft.
We received an update today by email from the guys at Crossing the Ditch. “Crossing the ditch” is a bold adventure planned by two you men, James Castrission and Justin Jones. They are now in the final stages of planning a crossing of the Tasman Sea (the ditch) from Sydney to New Zealand in a kayak.
