'This is the gripping and inspirational account of two ordinary
blokes ...double-handedly proving that the Age of Adventure is not
over!' PETER FITZSIMONS With more than two thousand kilometres of
treacherous seas and dangerously unpredictable weather and
currents, it was little wonder no-one had ever successfully crossed
the Tasman by kayak. Australian adventurer Andrew McAuley had come
close just months earlier - tragically, though, not near enough to
save his life. But two young Sydneysiders, James Castrission and
Justin Jones, reached the sand at New Plymouth - and a place in
history - on 13 January 2008, 62 days after they'd set off from
Forster on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. In the process,
they had to face dwindling food supplies, a string of technical
problems, 14 days trapped in a whirlpool, and two terrifying close
encounters with sharks. When they arrived in New Zealand, their
friendship stronger than ever, they were sunburnt, bearded,
physically and mentally wasted ...and, most of all, happy to be
alive. "...nothing prepared them for the 62 days of rapture,
despair and euphoria ...ultimately this is a story of the triumph
of the human spirit." Lincoln Hall
