Crossing the Ditch is now Available!!
No one had ever successfully navigated the Tasman by kayak from Australia to New Zealand. Two young Australians, James Castrission and Justin Jones, reached the sand at New Plymouth — and a place in history — on 13 January 2008, sixty-two days after they’d set off from Forster on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. They were sunburnt, bearded, underweight, physically and mentally wasted … and, most of all, happy to be alive.
Justin and James completed Safety courses with Pacific Sailing School prior to their departure and Terry was there to meet them.
