I use to work with a guy that raced kayaks. His team would take a boat over and race the kayaks back.

I met a guy at cabrillo that said he and his brother kayaked to Catalina and came back via the Marina del Rey flyer. If I remember correctly he said it took something like 8hrs to get there.

i'd go with you if i were there. i posted up about it a couple times with no takers and alot of "what if" comments.
if not for the fishing, just for the ride would be awesome!

What? appox. 22 miles each way?
8 hours if the conditions were right would work, strong legs or healthy arms! |

22 miles isn't bad but it can kick up out there. nothing a sit on top can't handle though. ya, you might get dumped but it happens to everyone.
i'd say go for it. We did a trip that was around 25 miles on saturday with no issues. 5 hobies and 3 paddle yaks made the trip.

Wow what a paddle that would be. Definitely gonna need GPS and a gel seat. I don't think I'd want to push water on a stealth for that distance.

I would attach a sail and let the winds take me there while sipping a nice beverage

This is one of those ideas that pops up every few years. I've never seen anyone actually follow through with one exception. A crew from the Hobie factory did it at least once on Adventure Islands. I can't say how much of the time they sailed. And I agree with CJ; long, coastal trips make for good training. Who's up for a 22-mile trial run? |

Years ago a kayaker, Ed Gillette, left California and kayaked to HAWAII, alone and unassisted. That was an epic trip!

Ed was in his late 20's or early 30's. At 65 I don't think so! Could not even sail downwind to CR at my age. Do they fly yaks to CR?

![]() No, the airlines are really getting strict on weight/size limits. It would have to be a much shorter yak than the AI. There is a dealer in Panama City, closest one, who I've ordered thru. But I've got a brand new Revo 13 with my AI in CR upon my return, your more than welcome to use, would be fun. I'll pm you later with details. ![]() |
