Book excerpt: With more than 2,000 km of treacherous seas and dangerously unpredictable weather and currents, not to mention the ever-present threat of sharks, it was little wonder no one had ever successfully crossed the Tasman by kayak. Two young Sydneysiders reached the sand at New Plymouth on 13 January, 2008, 62 days after they'd set off from Forster, NSW.
