“I’m wondering why I’m doing this, I really am. “I’m really worried that I’m not going to see my wife again, or my little boy, and I’m very scared,” he cries. So, basically, is the entire hour, regardless of whether or not you know if he makes it or not.
The on-kayak footage of McAuley sobbing while paddling away from the beach, where his son and Vicki yell goodbye, is devastating. Crews also followed his family and support team on land, and the media covered him, too, so there’s real-time reaction to his voyage from his wife, Vicki.

#SOLO LOST AT SEA DOCUMENTARY SERIES#
Like Animal Planet’s fascinating series Grizzly Man Diaries, the documentary includes footage from the actual kayak narrated by McAuley, as he filmed his voyage. As the narrator says early on, it “is the story of one man’s obsession with adventure, and the true cost of that obsession.” ET, the National Geographic Channel debuts Solo: Lost at Sea, a one-hour documentary that follows Andrew McAuley’s attempt to spend about a month kayaking 1,000 miles from Tasmania to New Zealand through the Milford Sound in early 2007.
