I think he also wanted to make his wife and son proud---she said in a passage he wrote that he wished his wife would ask him not to go.But would he haven listened if she had? I just think he wanted to make them proud though they already were proud of him. Maybe he be in heavenly peace now.

He left his wife and son with a cheap boat, low experience...then he saw too competitors doing the same, and wanted to arrive first so went for the short and dangerous line...When I had my first kid, I stopped driving fast... no more comment than stupid... in any case if it was not on the sea, this guy would have looked for his end on the mountains or on the desert...

This video is extra scary because it starts out with Andrew wearing white sunscreen that makes his face look like a skull.  Of course, other people have kayaked across oceans, but their human powered crafts are much larger and more robust.  It seems maybe a bit naïve to be going on such an expedition in a standard plastic kayak. It is hard to spend a half day in a kayak, much less a month or so.  Quite an undertaking to say the least.  There are plenty of people who have tried simply crossing 80 miles of Lake Michigan that don't make it.I thought it a bit odd that Andrew would cry as he took off on his journey.  I have done some adventuring, but never had the emotion to cry as I cast off.  I wonder if he knew the journey was too fraught with danger.   As if he knew his chances of survival were thin, but he could not fight the internal urge to go. Sadly, we will never know.

+Kitasenju2 Andrew loved his kids and his wife. He knew that we only live once so he did this to accomplish something he loves. He wanted more than everything to be alive and managed to cross this sea but he died at the end that's why it's sad. He was not the kind of person who stays at home most of the time or to be in a office 8 hours a day. The only mistake he did is to have a wife and a kid before doing this, but life is not taken for granted. RIP Andrew.

What a poorly conceived idea. This is not something a man (or woman) should attempt if they have a spouse and child at home. In reality, it's not something anyone should attempt, because it puts the lives of Coast Guard personnel at risk when they have go out and try to save this guy on a dangerous part of the ocean. Very sad that he died, but he clearly underestimated the ocean and overestimated his ability and equipment.
alaskanglenn

Absolutely true, very sad, but he will not feel the pain of being left behind like his family will. Unfortunately mates like this have huge ego's which in the end get them killed. He flipped a coin and lost.

+25benjiyo My issue is that this man was a parent of a young child. People who want to do extremely dangerous things for the thrill and sense of accomplishment probably shouldn't have children, because his son is now going to grow up dealing with the loss of a father who selfishly got himself killed during a kayaking stunt. My dad was an avid big-wall rock climber as a young man, which is less dangerous than this, and he quit climbing when he had a family. I'm not saying people with kids shouldn't do anything risky, but parents should not willingly put themselves in extreme danger like this man did. He could have continued kayaking, just not extreme.
25benjiyo
25benjiyo - 9 years ago
The problem is that people like him need to do dangerous activities, because they need the adrenaline rush that near-death activities bring them. That man did many dangerous activities such as climbing mounts or crossing ravines with nothing but a rope. If you would've watched the wole documentary, he did know the dangers of the ocean, he even survived through a storm, but he got killed in the 20 last miles of his trip. He was a brave man who always did extremely challenging activities, but in the end, he died doing something that noone else could've even gotten close to doing, and i admire that. I don't think you should criticize him about his decisions because they probably led him to having a much more interesting life than any of us.
Jack Aldrich
Jack Aldrich - 10 years ago
What an irresponsible, selfish person. If he had just himself to consider then no problem if he wants to commit suicide. But obviously his foolish stunt was more important than his wife and kid. Brave?  I don't think so. Inconsiderate, irresponsible? Absolutely.

His wife seems to be at least as stupid as he was. "I am really lucky to have such an `adventurous husband´". Now see what you `ve got morons... I have some other ideas for you: Going to the antarctic on an inflatable matress, walking to the north pole on bare feet, climbing the Mount Everest backwards, the possibilities are endless . Perhaps you will meet your husband again after death , Vicky, in a celestial rubber-room, who knows...

I just don't see how you can argue for his mental state based on what you think you know about him from a tv documentary. You might be right; maybe he was just crazy, but based on the fact that he made it almost all the way across one of the roughest seas in the world, I would bet he would have had to have at least a certain level of skill and understanding.

You can't just modify kayaks or anything else if you're not a trained designer, for example the famous pilot Wiley Post built his own plane in the 1930's from bits of two wrecked planes and it was nose-heavy, killing him and his passenger

@Jocktanian Wolf who are you to judge? I have been sea kayaking and sailing almost my entire life and I would never presume to judge this guy, he did something ballsier than I would ever do. The type of craft he was in is an example of one which over the last 4,000 years has taken people into some of the roughest seas on earth. Driving your car down the freeway at 60mph is "challenging nature", this guy was embracing it. Your respect means so very little.

I've seen the BBCTV docu and was shocked at how badly designed the kayak was, much too small and cramped. And in his last distress message when he was out of the kayak,, his voice was slurred, a sure sign of hypothermia. Another sign is an inability to think clearly which might explain why he never lashed himself to the kayak, lost consciousness and drifted away.

Well what exactly happend once the kayak flipped is a bit uncertain.. He wasn't IN the kayak but also didn't have his drysuit on (if I remember correctly) and als didn't turn on his emergency beacon. He was also extremely tired, that couldn't have helped.
domin8ah
domin8ah - 12 years ago
*SPOILER ALERT* 1 : They found an SD card with video data.. there were also some tapes but the seawater ruined them. 2: He had a special canopy to cover the hole in the kayak so he had a sort of shelter to sleep and such. A part of that canopy was broken and when the kayak flipped that canopy prevented him from flipping the kayak back (which normally would be easy). So the kayak stayed upside down..

He should have at least explored the unknown,like the universe and actually help the human race. Instead he goes on a journey that only benefited his addiction to adrenaline rush. Selfish and moronic, especially since he had a family. I hope his kid realizes what an asshole his father was. What the hell was he trying to prove anyways... he even realized how retarded it was to do the trip, and i quote from his documentary "i'll never do this again". He had an addiction he never grew out of, *****

amrrmar - 12 years ago
From what I understand, his kayak was found capsized on shore but with no sign of him. He had some sort of hard plastic hoods to cover the seat when he slides in the kayak to sleep. when he was paddling the cup had to be on the side. After he capsized, they acted as weights so he couldn't do a self-rescue.

A lot of people like this jump into kayaking and haven't been around the ocean long enough to fully respect it's power. His skills were no match for this voyage. There is a lot more to it than just paddling forward.

I watched this when it first broadcast. There was too much risk and poor planning on every level. Even the footage wasn't that good and there were many large gaps because it wasn't documented very well. The other captain of the sail boat warned him that the largest risk would be when he landed with the waves on the rocks, and that's exactly how he died. Why not have a fleet of boats head out and welcome/guide him in? But that would have required assessing the situation from a logical perspective

Happiness only real when shared. Alexander Supertramp. Into the wild. I have respect for anyone doing this, as I did and always will do things like this, it is my nature to run, from my own faults and those of society, We need to do certain things alone, to transcend this mundane life, not matter what the cost for others stuck in theirs. While happiness is a worthy cause, for some of us, It isn't the only thing to strive for. It's but one emotion, fear and exhilaration is just as powerful

I think very few really understand the philosophy of an explorer, those of us whom have ventured in small boats know the realities and as well love our families, children, and yet the calling moves us. The love of man and the sea, the love of family, all help us to move forward, in spite of fears, and trepidations we seek. I can appreciate the ambition and as well understand the heartbreak. Still within the heart of an explorer there is always the next stroke or challenge its what makes us excel

U can make all the comments & give your opinions but after reading the book by his wife and realising he came within 30 kilometres of NZ as far as I'm concerned the crossing was not foolish, he made it. How many fisher people go off the coast for a day's fishing and sadly dont return. His story inspires me. He inspires me,he gives me more resolve to live a fuller life. I prob wont attempt what he attenpted but I'm not him. He's made my life richer by his endeavours & ability to chase his dreams.

Without people like this man, no one would have ever discovered the United States. It takes grit and determination to do anything worth living for. No person true to self would ever talk down to about Andrew. I mean, isn't that what we live for? Don't we strive to achieve the impossible? Isn't that what makes us human? There are those just go day to day and there are those who strive to push the limits. Without the other, neither could survive.

Lots of comments by people who don't know what they're talking about! Reading the book gives a pretty in depth and powerful understanding of what motivated this trip...something I thought was tragic but inspiring...Imagine if Mrs Cook didn't let James Cook go sailing etc, or Sir Ed was told to stay home to tend to the bees instead of climbing... People should keep negative comments to themselves!
