Two kayakers, James Castrission and Justin Jones, are attempting to go from Western Australia to New Zealand in a double, custom built kayak survived a rocky night ... The kayak's main line- connecting the boat's rudder to the tiller, wrapped around the rudder, making it impossible to steer. The line was finally untangled and they're back on course, but are still a good 900 kilometers off the coast of New Zealand. Within the last hour, the two sent a text message to their Australia base saying they were safe.
The kayakers are still facing bad weather with strong winds from the south-east and heavy seas. They set off on their 2200-kilometer journey on November 13th. If the two succeed in the crossing, they will be the first people to cross the Tasman Sea by kayak after many failed attempts.
