Arcata, CA, January 23, 2007 - James Castrission and Justin Jones will launch this month on the second longest trans-oceanic expedition relying solely on paddle power for propulsion. They will kayak out of Sydney Harbor, Australia and travel in a custom-made kayak, laden with supplies, safety equipment, and communication systems, to the Bay of Auckland, New Zealand. The estimated length of this trip is 45-55 days.

“The risk management research undertaken is critical in ensuring safety and the overall success of the expedition” said team member James Castrission. James and Justin have spent the last 14 months creating a 40 page “Risk Management Proposal” which examines the major issues pertinent to the success of this expedition.
