10:05 Feature Guests - Jim and Heather Wilson
Jim and Heather Wilson and their two young sns had lived in Wellington for 18 months, but decided to sail home to the US, a journey that took them over a year. From New Zealand they sailed through the Pacific to Australia – across the Indian ocean to South Africa then on up the coast of Africa, across to Brazil and to the Carribean. Along they way they've dealt with equipment failure, cyclones, nearly colliding with a tanker, and – most dramatically – a close encounter with a boatload of desperate asylum seekers trying to make it to Australia.
