"Allison Shreeve has successfully completed windsurfing 115km of the Bass Strait Challenge in formidable conditions with 30-35 knot winds and 3-4m swells. In doing so she has exceeded CoastCare’s “Life on the Edge” campaign target for people from all walks of life to travel 100km of Australia’s coastline using non-motorised activity. Allison departed from Stanley in Tasmania on 26th March 2009, after a courageous nine hour slog resulting in severe cramping and the onset of hypothermia, Allison’s challenge was ultimately brought to an end when she was helped on board Calypso II, her support boat, before she was able to set foot on Victorian shores. Allison's progress was followed by Aerotracs GPS tracking system and complimented by live video streaming.

Allison hopes to attempt the Strait again next summer, weather and funding permitting. Please contact allison@aus911.com if you would like to support this next attempt."
