About three months ago we brought you the story of Lorraine and Glenn Keating, who, in April 2016 will set out on a circumnavigation of the Australian continent (including Tasmania) aboard a pair of Yamaha FX Cruiser HO WaveRunners. Together with the crew from Terra Australia-Girt by Sea, the couple will have broken the current world record for the longest distance covered by PWC, as well as being the only people to have circumnavigated the continent, including Tasmania.
Obviously, the task at hand is a big one, and worthy of being followed, so the Keatings have arranged to air weekly episodes on their YouTube channel and comprehensive information on their website, tracking their exploits all in an effort to raise money for the Cancer Council of NSW. Recently, Yamaha WaveRunners Australia, who announced that they would be sponsoring the Keating’s efforts by supplying the necessary watercraft, published an update by the Keatings:
“We had an excellent day down at the Port Hacking and Maianbar Beach area on Sunday. Rainey wasn’t so happy as she had too sit on the sand whilst someone else put some hours up on her Yamaha WaveRunners Australia FX Cruiser HO. We need to get the first service done at Sydney Watercraft Centre before we head off and with time running out we had no choice but to get one of the kids to do it for her, they weren’t complaining!”
Additionally, the couple were interviewed by Robbie Buck on 702 ABC on Wednesday 8th March:
