Shaun takes on the Tasman Solo!!

Shaun Quincey is now 2 weeks into his solo Tasman rowing adventure having left Coffs Harbour on the 20th January. Find out more with www.tasmantrespasser.com. He covered some great distance in the first week heading quite far south in the currents and has only really started making ground east in this last week. He is now just over 600km east of Australia and about 100 km south of sydney. He has encountered some big seas and winds in the last two days from the east which has meant he has made little ground towards NZ but thankfully the sea anchors have prevented him from being pushed too far back towards australia and encourage an eastery drift in the current. Physically there are lots of blisters and rashes which can only be expected after spending that much time in the saddle but he remains positive and in good spirits and is aiming to arrive in Taranaki in early March.
