Tasman Sea Crossing Update: They Did It!!

I received word this morning that James Castrission and Justin Jones, the two Australian lads who have been crossing the Tasman Sea by kayak, have rowed their way into New Plymouth Harbour in New Zealand, successfully completing the first paddle across that body of water.

Their website seems to be getting hammered a lot today, and there are few updates so far, but the GPS tracking indicates that they have completed their voyage and are home safe and sound. Hopefully we’ll get more on this soon, but it’s great to see that they have finally finished.

Congrats guys! 🙂
