Some info about Andrew McAuley's kayak when it was inspected by the builder, after it was brought ashore in New Zealand.
First of all, the kayak was in excellent shape, apart from Casper the cockpit cover missing - and there is a suggestion that this could have actually broken away in the 24 hours after Andrew was separated from the kayak. It would have been full of water and being washed about in the swells, and could have easily broken away.
The pump batteries (two of them, with separate switches) were fully charged, and the pump worked when tested. The satellite phone still worked, although the battery was getting low. The socket in the kayak that was used for charging was corroded, it was inside the rear compartment, and had been under water for 24 hours.. The three GPS's were still working. The EPIRB was still in the kayak and was tested OK. The paddle was still attached to the kayak. There was food in the cockpit.
Paul has viewed some of the video (the NZ police still have some of the waterlogged video). The video plainly shows him wearing his dry suit in the kayak. I know from talking to him at Fortecscue Bay that his intention was to always put this on if his weather forecaster in Sydney warned him of a big blow coming. This would mean that if anything happened and he ended up out of the kayak he would be prepared for it. So some of the video shows him wearing it. A very sensible precaution.
In the video he also mentions that he had capsìzed twice, and had to climb back into the kayak. This was quite difficult ('gnarly' to use his own words) and he was very concerned that he not capsìze again. A normal kayak can be re-entered over the back deck, but Casper would stop this method. And the front deck had gear on it as well, including a mounted video camera. Some of you might wonder why he didn't roll up. For a start, there was no normal seat in the kayak, and it was a very large cockpit. Because he had to slide down into it to sleep, he was sitting on a bean bag that he specially made, and I can remember him saying that this was a vast improvement over the bag he was using on the first aborted trip.This bean bag was also used as a pillow for sleeping.

Dears,
It was fun. I am a bit of a dunce but still freak out from strong wind and surf. Maybe someday I'll get it right! Getting there was an experience. My two escorts, may not be the most proficient kayak movers but the most resourceful. Gentle Eli was the driver and he can forever chauffeur me anywhere. Energetic Morti is always great for a laugh and can either keep you awake or put you to sleep depending upon the topic. Special thanks goes out to Yochai for his mastering of the tow rope getting me back the 2km I had managed to get out. And of course to Karel for letting me hang on to his deck for the ride back. (He owed that to me for predicting the wind would stop SOMETIME soon.) Oh yes mustn't forget our fearless leaders for their organization of the trip. The most memorable part of the adventure was the smiles of exhausted satisfaction on the faces of the participants when they made it back to the shore...all those known and less known faces. You are a great bunch... THANK YOU
