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

Dave k · 12-12-2013, 10:01 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).

OEX Sunset Beach · 12-12-2013, 10:39 AM

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.

Mongo Johnson · 12-12-2013, 09:37 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.

food4less562 · 12-13-2013, 12:50 AM

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, 01:20 AM

Count me in.

Smthtnnr · 12-13-2013, 09:00 AM

I might be in. What's the plan fishing wise? You aren't gonna try and troll on the way there are you?

Poopsicle · 12-13-2013, 04:07 PM

I'm in.

rossman · 12-13-2013, 04:21 PM

I'm out. If I don't get a nap after 9 miles of paddling I get cranky. Man's got to know his limitations.

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.
