Bernard Hempseed of New Zealand gives an update about Team Gallagher Trans-Tasman Rowing Challenge, rowing from Sydney to Ackland, whom HTBS wrote about on 6 January. Bernard writes,

The Trans-Tasman rowers have made it across. They landed near the top of the east coast of the North Island, and are going to continue on to Auckland. One crew member has had to leave but the other three hope to be there soon. See this link for more details (with video clip). – Cheers, Bernard

Great news, Bernard! Thank you for sharing!
