Re: ozzie waters
A couple say they encountered waves the size of buildings, winds they couldn’t stand in and “whiteness everywhere” as they awaited rescue on their broken yacht off the coast of Sydney.
Irishman Nick Dwyer and Frenchwoman Barbara Heftman arrived safely in Balmain on Wednesday night aboard NSW Police rescue vessel Nemesis with the “absolute heroes” who travelled more than 200 nautical miles in treacherous seas to save them.

Re: ozzie waters
Watched that on the News last Night,and they showed some footage of the Waves ,with that small craft they were in the Waves sure looked terrible! Looked like a cork bobbing around at Sea!
Doing a trip around the World they were 8 Years of 10 into their Epic Journey!
Sounds a bit long though I wonder if they got the time frame correct!
