'Kayak Kings' among the star attractions at the Sydney International Boat Show
The 2008 Sydney International Boat Show (July 31-August 5) will offer a smorgasbord of interesting attractions, none more so that daily appearances by the two young adventurers who conquered the Tasman Sea aboard a kayak.
Justin Jones, 24, and James Castrission, 25, attracted the attention of the world’s media when they set out from Forster, on the NSW north coast, and arrived in New Plymouth, New Zealand, 62 days later.
The intrepid duo endured howling winds, mountainous seas, and sleep and food deprivation during their epic voyage and together with the actual kayak they called ‘home’ for two months will be appearing on the Better Boating Workshop stage at 2pm and 5.30pm every day bar Friday, when their only appearance will be at 7.30pm.
