Good luck guys!

As the festive season is upon us and we get a chance to have a holiday break, I would like to extend good luck wishes and seasons greetings to Justin and James who are currently crossing kayaking from Australia to New Zealand. Right now they have been out there crossing the ditch for the last 38 days, you can check out all their details at http://www.crossingtheditch.com.au/.

Other than these guys being truly inspiring, what's cool about what they are doing is the technology they are using to support the expedition. GPS, texting and podcasts are all part of the experience but what I really like is the google maps mashup on the homepage. Its awesome we can see clearly their route, how far they have to go - 855km at last count, and how far they have come each day.

Go lads, best of luck and Merry Christmas!
