crossing the ditch
Crossing the Ditch was the effort of adventurers Justin Jones and James Castrission, known as Cas and Jonesy to become the first to cross the Tasman Sea and travel from Australia to New Zealand by sea kayak. Setting off from Forster, New South Wales on 13 November 2007 in their custom-designed kayak ''Lot 41'', the two-man expedition succeeded where previous attempts, including the fatal journey of Andrew McAuley, had been unsuccessful. They arrived at Ngamotu Beach, in New Plymouth, New Zealand on 13 January 2008.
The expedition holds the world record for "the longest trans-oceanic expedition in a double kayak by two expeditioners". A significant aspect of this undertaking was the use of the internet to allow the public to track the progress of ''Lot 41'' in real time, and message the crew. Photographs and podcasts from the crew were made available just hours after they had been transmitted from the craft.
