Those seas down south of Tasmania and South Island NZ are wicked, and its pretty much a death wish. It was however very sad they did not take his distress call seriously at first.

Now that you have seen it.... :wink:
This was such an incredible human effort that sadly ended in tragedy only 80km from completion. I had been following his progress at the time with great interest via his website. It looked like he would do the impossible but tragically it was not to be.
His website can be found here:
