A 530 km open crossing of the Gulf of Carpentaria by Andrew McAuley has been completed, as reported here: http://townsvillebulletin.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,7034,10655456%255E14787,00.html The front bulkhead of the kayak was removed to allow lying down and resting/sleeping, and using a cockpit cover. Stunning effort!
