In 2007, Andrew McAuley attempted to kayak 991 miles across the notoriously rough Tasman Sea, known for its unpredictable weather, strong currents, and frequent storms.

On February 10th, his kayak was found 30 nautical miles (56 km) from his goal, but he was nowhere to be found.

Photographs and footage from his journey were found on a memory stick inside his damaged kayak.
