ENDURE Row – Cook Strait
Proposed March 2019 for solo crossing of Cook Strait. Goal is to do the fastest one way crossing from South to North Island and challenge to return completing first double crossing.
‘The Cook Strait is an infamous stretch of water, and not to be underestimated. Not only is it a narrow channel, but the positioning of New Zealand’s North and South Islands in the Pacific Ocean happens to be such that tidal streams, tidal flow, swells and wind are unbelievably treacherous.’
