An air drop of vital supplies has been made to kayaker Scott Donaldson.
Mr Donaldson, who formerly lived in Rotorua, is attempting to cross the Tasman Sea by kayak for the second time.
This morning a helicopter dropped 54 litres of bottled water to Mr Donaldson who is currently about
250 nautical miles west of New Plymouth.
Rescue pilot John Funnell said six litres of water was lost due to breakages on landing.
"We also delivered a new rudder assembly which Scott will have to attach to the aft end of his kayak," he said.
