Solo Bass Strait tinnie crossing -- Video update
13 hours, broken seat, sore back, sleep deprived, but he made it!"Arrived in Tasmania (Smithton) after a 13-hour trip. All went well apart from a broken seat and now a very sore back. Will post more tomorrow after a big sleep."
So reports former Aussie soldier James Prascevic after successfully crossing treacherous Bass Strait solo in a small 4.55m aluminum boat without stopping or outside assistance.
Raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, Prascevic has escaped depression and his demons and says he now just loves the freedom of being on the open water.
"When I am fishing and in my boat the only thing that I worry about is the end of the rod tip. I feel I can do anything and that I have nothing wrong with me mentally or physically. I am 110 per cent!" he says.
See the video below. Ouch!
