 Things are really up
and down out on the Tasman Sea.
I have been following
along reading the reports coming out of Austrailia as Justin
Jones and James Castrission attempt to be the first group to paddle from
Austrailia to New Zealand
by kayak.
Things were going well but they hit a snag recently
and were forced to dump their dump their bilage pump overboard after it stopped
working. Their electronic desalination pump also broke causing long delays in
paddling since it takes 2 hours to manually pump a days worth of fresh water.
The two pieces of broken equipment have put
the team in a bit of the slumps they say. They have been out on the water and
not seen sight of land for over 18 days.
