We crossed Bass Strait by Sea Kayak in April 2023. This series shows some of the preparation and journey that we experienced. We greatly Appreciated the assistance and Advice from Brian Pozzey of Sailing adventures. https://www.sailingadventures.com.au/
Institute of Sports and Spines assisted with performance testing and training planning to prepare for the trip. We used a range of resources to develop our mapping and trip planning.
It is a fantastic adventure and one I would highly recommend if you are into putting yourself out of your comfort zone and love sea kayaking. Build in some time to spend on the islands.
I would suggest 3 weeks to complete the trip and spend time on the islands if the weather is favourable. Maybe a month if you come from interstate to make the trip down to victoria and back not a speed session.
