So here I was planning to write this nice long intro all about Justine Curgenven’s crossing of the Bass Strait coming up soon. Launch is expected to be April 2nd. I was going to share with you that this crossing is no small task. I was going to tell you a bit about Alun Hughes who is doing the trip with her. I’d also thought of mentioning how Andrew McAuley had done this crossing 3 times and that in 2003 he made the first non-stop crossing by sea kayak. I was also going to mention that thinking of Andrew does remind us that these journeys are not a ‘given’. That there is a certain level of risk that we must respect. But I found myself needing to rush a bit to tell you about the new podcasts. . . So to Justine & Alun I say, good luck, have fun, and be safe!

To you I say, Check out Justine’s first Podcast leading into the trip.
