Just a bit of a heads up, Nat's been training for months and about to fly to Tassie for the big trip back.
This from Natalie....

Subject: Kite Bass Strait for Swim 4 All - GAME ON
Finally the wind is right and I'm off to Tassie.
I leave Saturday afternoon and hope to make the kiteboard crossing back on Monday.
The wind might be OK on Sunday, which would make it a rush to get everything ready in Tassie but not impossible.
Please check links on the website to follow my progress.

Twitter will be updated each hour during the crossing.

The spot messenger will be on me and is an designed to leave a footstep every 10 minutes, so you can see in real time where I am in Bass Strait.

I hope to reach land before dark around Wilsons Promontory / Inverloch. Please feel free to come and welcome me back!!!
I will have my mobile on me... please only call if it is an emergency during the crossing, I can answer it while I kite, but sometimes fall and this will use much needed energy.
Please let anyone know that this world record attempt is to raise money for more swimming facilities for children with disabilities and that donations can be made via the swim 4 all website.

Natalie we wish you all the best and good winds for the crossing!!!
