I have put 20+ miles on my kayak in one day, according to the Lowrance Odometer. I was out for over 14 hours, sunrise to sunset. It's doable pending weather conditions are right

Tell the truth, out of 14 hours you were only peddling, what maybe half of that time? The rest of that time you were fishing. Had you peddled 14 hours straight you should have done 30+ miles. That is only 2 mph and you could probabally average over 3.

Yeah that sounds about right. Crusing speed of a PA with calm winds and swell is about 2.5-3.0 without roasting your legs, you can easily do 5.5-6.0 sprints but that only lasts a few minutes.

Id start with doing the Bay to Bay paddle as a warm up then do Cat crossing.
If you decide to start training and want to do it though i would be in as soon as I replace my 160 that I sold. |

I've been wanting to do a trip out there but wasn't sure if it was realistic. I figured the hardest part was finding a few guys who were just as crazy as me. Keep me I. The loop if something comes of this.

I would like to do it. I think I had better try a few trips along the coast first and see how 25 miles of paddling feels to a fifty year old body first.

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? |
