Putting your oar in - trans Tasman solo rower sets off for home in New Zealand...
Trans-Tasman solo rower, Shaun Quincey, has left Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales, Australia, to row back to Taranaki in New Zealand.
The 25 year old from Auckland, plans to travel about 2450 km in 50-80 days. His father, Colin Quincey, made the first and only, solo crossing, starting from NZ in 1977. He rowed from Hokianga in Northland to Marcus Beach in Queensland.
Saun's seven- metre boat, about the size of a station wagon, named after his father's boat, 'The Tasman Trespasser', has a cabin, a solar powered water desalinator and a satellite phone. He is on his own, and has no support crew on the water. We wish him luck.
