Crazy question.

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

Also, the following is a nice article on someone else's experience...

A group of guys from Fastlane did it in adventure kayaks with sails and camped and fished over there -

That's an early, 2-hatch Tarpon, the version that was much lower slung and faster than today's. Cool yak. I think you'd definitely want to long, quick kayak like this one.

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?
