paddling out - how far, and how long?

[oredith]

After this weekend, and spending more time on the water, the wife is solidly on-board with spending time on the kayak and even fishing. I'm trying to figure out how much time I can realistically keep her out on the water, and how far I can get in that time in order to get in some fishing time.

we launched out of South Shore in LB simply because I didn't want to brave a surf launch yet. paddled out to queen mary, meandered a bit, and headed back in about 2 hours time.

wife wasn't to speedy even in the x-13, so i'm concerned about actually getting out far enough to do fishing with her.

so, how far out do you guys generally go when fishing (doesn't have to be LB specific), how long does it generally take for you to get out that far?
