They have been going around in circles, literally, for a week, buffeted off course by the tides, giant swells and winds that caused them to paddle an extra 800kms on top of the 3000km they had prepared for. With their leg muscles wasting, their body fat reserves depleted and their minds playing tricks - their determination refused to wander.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In their tiny kayak, they battled 10 metre towering waves, massive storms, sharks and currents that conspired against them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On January 13, 2008, After 3318 kilometres and 1.7 million paddle strokes, James Castrission and Justin Jones reached the sand at New Plymouth on NZ's North Island - and a place in history - 62 days after they set off from Forster on the mid-New South Wales coast. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e They were sun-burnt, bearded, underweight, physically and mentally wasted … but most of all happy to be alive.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e EXTRAS:\u003cbr\u003e Video Diary\/Podcasts\u003cbr\u003e Deleted Scenes\u003cbr\u003e Gallery\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Production Year - 2010\u003cbr\u003e Country of Origin – AUSTRALIA\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- End Description --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:12px;clear:both\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.sixbitsoftware.com\/images\/tagline.jpg\" align=\"absbottom\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Powered by SixBit\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.sixbitsoftware.com\/images\/tagline.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WOW Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45162330390723,"sku":"389922492260","price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0214\/5004\/files\/57_81f3f3ad-8180-4ddc-93aa-2888fe1b51ca.jpg?v=1776843038","url":"https:\/\/wowmusic.com.au\/products\/crossing-the-ditch-dvd","provider":"WOW Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
