D     An Australian adventurer has taken on a dangerous bid to become the first kayaker (皮艇手) to paddle 1,600 kilometres (1,000 miles) from his country to New Zealand.     Having spent five years planning his trip across the Tasman Sea, Andrew McAuley, 39, ignored strong request by marine police to stop an attempt they described as “dangerous and high-risk”. McAuley left early from Fortescue in south-eastern Tasmania on a risky journey that was expected to take a month.     McAuley, who was last year’s Australian Geographic Adventurer of the Year, has equipped his kayak with navigation and safety equipment to protect him from the bad weather at night. Although well prepared for his 1,600-kilometre adventurous journey, he admitted on his website earlier that he was both excited and scared. “The balance of each emotion changes from time to time, but overall I can’t wait to get out there and get it done,” wrote McAuley. “I’m hungry for some paddling!”     McAuley aims to reach New Zealand’s Milford Sound in 30 days, where he will present his passport to New Zealand customs authorities. “You know it’s a long kayak trip when you need your passport,” he said.     McAuley admitted the Tasman crossing, which had been attempted just twice by others — unsuccessfully — would be “very hard going”. However, a wealth of experience at sea gave him some idea of what to expect, he said.
