I'm not joining but I'm curious....................are you guys going to have a support boat?

Dave k · 12-12-2013, 11:01 AM

Is the plan to carry camping gear on the yaks or is that being shipped or hauled by a support boat (assuming there is one).

This was on my list of things to do this year that never got marked off my list. I like September though.

This crossing is done by more people than you think. Best spot is Cabrillo. I have rented kayaks several times for people as support boats to people SWIMMING the 22 mile crossing. I like John's disclaimer.

Im sure there are a few of us who also own boats that will be willing to support.

I think im going to need something different than my x factor im liking the soind of a tarpon 160

Mongo Johnson · 12-12-2013, 10:37 PM

Put me on the list to pedal my Revo or just crew a support boat. I'm an old news photog' so put me down to snag a few pix and video too. Might be able to get my wife to help too.

I would be interested, sounds like nice challenge.

one way trip
distance x pace = est. time
22 miles x 4mph = about 5hrs 30mins

12-13-2013, 02:20 AM

Count me in.

VERY slim chance that this type of a pace will be maintained by you for close to 6 hours.

Good luck guys.

Take lots of photos and be safe.

a more realistic pace would probably be 2-3 mph. I don't think any one of us could hold a 4mph pace for 5+ hrs. You guys should take a few practice runs; pedal/paddle from Redondo to Santa Monica or something similar, at a minimum this will give you a good idea of what to expect.

ful-rac · 12-13-2013, 10:56 PM

Its gonna be brutal but rewarding!

You guys make it...you should get some sort of trophy for your signature line...!

ericko · 12-14-2013, 03:31 PM

Sewer crew is a bunch of pwimpy good luck tho .... If I went I would just slow you all down!!!!

WSA-Bob · 03-04-2014, 12:11 PM

I do a bit of river paddling, and your paddle to Catalina is of interest, but with the aid of the river at about 2 miles an hour the 25 miles we do on the first day, generally takes about 5 hours - my average bay and Ocean is about 3.7 Miles per hour average.

Also do not forget to calculate your currents and the wind factor, on 48 mile paddle on the river that should have taken me 10 hours took 14 hours of hard paddling because of the head winds.

But the above worked out, I am interested in more details - Cost and how are we getting back, the Date and hour of launching.
