Maybe a dead end, but maybe not.

It may sound like a lot of ships and planes, but the ocean is very big, and the weather down there sounds like it is rather gnarly. It big seas it would be very easy to sail or fly right by an object like that and not see it amoungst the whitecaps. Also, keep in mind that any debris is constantly moving with the current and wind. Where it was when spotted a few days ago by satellite is not where it is today. And where it is today it won't be tomorrow.
