Oarsome!

You may remember a blog post in January reporting on the arrival of James Castrission (Cass) and Justin Jones in New Zealand, after a 62-day journey in a kayak to 'cross the dtich' from Australia.



Geoff and I spent 2-months tracking the guys' on their website and a gripping final 12 hours fixed at our laptops as the guys paddled to shore.

Last Sunday, 60 Minutes, televised the guys' story. If you missed it, you can watch the program and read the transcript here.



See snippets of the journey including the sharks, the fights, the 5-10 metre waves, the sunsets and the amazing welcome they got when they landed on shore. The film also sneaks in the emotional reconciliation with the families and commentary by the guys as reflect on their amazing journey.

Finally, check out the new-look Crossing the Ditch website here.
