@@jakelineham1789Firstly may he rest in peace. Secondly that’s an asinine comment. There’s a difference in exploring for necessity and for avarice and even insinuating that this dude fits in with the brave people who got on boats to look for new lands or the first pioneers into space is quite ignorant. This dude had balls and I respect his adventurer’s spirit, but the minute he got that feeling about not seeing his family again he should’ve hung up that goal for good. I’m not taking away from his bravery. I have no doubt had he been born at the right time he would’ve been exploring the oceans and discovering new things, but he wasn’t. It was the year 2007 and he decided to do this for no reason other than fame, and now his family gets to spend the rest of their lives on this rock without him. I’m tired of seeing people talk about these guys, that goes for the foreign volunteers in current war torn countries as well. I’ve seen so many families crying on the news because some poor fool met his end thousands of miles away and they can’t even say goodbye. You’re the most important man in the world to your family, they view you as a hero for just doing the things a man should do, and any man on this planet who walks away from that all for 10 minutes of fame is not a hero.

Such a tragic story. Absolutely insane that he actually made it across the Tasman in a sea kayak, not custom built or nothing.

Nothing is more important than family. That’s it. Greatness is secondary. This man made his decision. And his boy suffers for life. Made worse by the fact it wasn’t at all necessary to kayak to NZ. I keep thinking about this guy….and the misery he has caused his son for his own aspirations. That footage is heartbreaking…

Wouldn't try an expedition like that in any kayak other than a Klepper 2 man.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Look just because your wife cheated on you with your mother and your dog was so annoyed with you he ran into a busy street and you were probably charged with possession of c.p. doesn't mean you have to take it out on other people. One day, if you wish hard enough your peepee will grow longer.

The kicker is, as he left, he secretly knew his fate. That's why he cried like that. He knew what he was doing, and he knew his chance of surviving was low. Shame he gave up his family for a little fame around kayaking.

He was a loser for doing that. He caused alot of pain for what he did. Throwing away a son and good wife from what I can see. What an asshole. He should have never gotten involved with any woman if this was his life plan. You don't get to at around with ppls feelings and not be an asshole at the same time.

@@McFaddenWasRight Bro stop. You don't have to be rude. Seriously you don't. No one is forcing you to just attack this man or his family. Y'know something a lot of people became famous inspite of doing something dangerous. That's just how the call to adventure works. Heck that's why people want to be cops or join the marines. No matter the danger they want to give their lives purpose. You have no reason to shame this man. And his kid maybe reading these comments so you watch your mouth man. As I said before I bet you couldn't last 2 seconds without crying to your mommy. This guy survived weeks. And was 30 Km away. If you don't agree with his decisions, that's fine. I'm not adventurous myself. I couldn't even last a millisecond, but you attacking him going, "He's heartless, hes a butthole" that's just childish and disrespectful. Dissing someone or claiming to know what he was thinking when he can't even defend himself says more about you than him. Have some respect for the dearly departed. Hopefully they never find his body because if they do you might pee on his grave.

@@McFaddenWasRight why are you in every comment. You have an opinion but persistently reiterating it is just irritating. Do you know any of Andrew McCauley's prior achievements? Are you aware of the countless successful expeditions that have been undertaken by other adventurers ? There is always risk and potential for heartbreak. Sometimes the adventure does go haywire, but often it does not. Not everyone is satisfied with living within the boundaries that you keep insisting is the correct way to live.

Let this be a lesson. It’s never worth the adventure if you leave your family behind

Anyone know where you can watch the documentary?

We will never understand why he had to do what he did … it’s not us to judge. Some people are just drawn to dangerous adventures.. like it or not these are the people that drive the human species forward. They discover … they push boundaries … and they inspire. They are very very rare. So sad he came so close

Why did he go then

Wrong. No real man walks out on a good wife and child and deserves respect. Fk him. He traumatized his kid probably for life. Dies that sound worthy of respect?

Is this the full documentary? Damn, this story is crazy.

Ohh fuck that's Soo Soo sad, remember it happening, hearing his wee boy the same age as mine is Soo Sad. R I p mate

I would like to read the book but I can't find it anywhere.

wow the kid is quite tree climber!!

Is is worried and scared he won't see his family again but still goes. And with a basic set up no less.. Why?? No Nintendo..

Full on stuff

He was so close!!! (Why attempt something like that anyway? Especially with a young child, in his life?)

What is in your head mate? You leave your family just for kayakin on the ocean without any good plan?

Its very sadd

This is dumb from the beginning! This guy is leaving his wife and son for what? To achieve what? Thats your family your leaving behind to impress who? Guys we are not talking about fighting for your family or giving up life for them to live, we are talking about a person who is afraid of a challenge that he made for himself and took and died. He didnt have the need to do it or the obligation to, he just wanted to do it! As much as he love his family, he didnt! I real parent and husband does not leave his family behind for a stupid challenge.

I don't mean to be supposing about something like this, but it just seems like all at-sea disasters occur when everyone has a bad feeling about the outing, but they still press on.
