Justine's Journal

I've decided to give everyone a sneak preview of footage from the first all-female circumnavigation of Tasmania by seakayak. The whole 850mile journey will be featured in the sequel to 'This is the Sea' but so far I've just edited a few snipets for slide presentations. This is one of them and shows how constant headwinds persuaded us to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to try to be on the water at first light and make the most of a short weather window between about 5.30am and 7 or 8 o'clock.This day, once the wind picks up we cross the mouth of the large river that comes out of Launceston. The wind was against the current and kicked up some fun waves.

Trys, Gemma and I succesfully completed the circumnavigation 4 months ago, but in some ways it feels like a previous life. It's quite nice to be starting to edit the trip and bring back memories of good ( and a few bad) times.
