The boat was approaching Lord Howe Island at approximately 2 knots at a distance of 110km, when it sent its last transmission.
It had travelled about 1200km from the launch point in Gippsland, Victoria, over 28 days.

What happened ?
We will probably never know what happened to the boat, because we will probably never see it again.
Possible reasons why it is no longer transmitting:
- It has sunk
- The batteries are flat
- There has been electrical failure
- The has been a breach of the water tight container holding the SPOT GPS, and it has been damaged by the salt water.
- The SPOT GPS does not have a clear view of the sky.
