Kayakers arrive in N.Z.


Kayakers arrive in NZ

January 13, 2008

"TWO Australian kayakers have completed their journey
across the Tasman Sea. . . During the past 62 days the pair
travelled more than 3,300 kilometres and battled strong winds and
tides that saw them go round in circles for part of the trip and
arrive 20 days later than originally expected." [more at]

Note: 3,300 km ~= 2,050 miles

For another report, see:

"Two Australians have paddled themselves into the record
books by successfully completing the first kayak crossing of the
Tasman."
