I use to work with a guy that raced kayaks. His team would take a boat over and race the kayaks back.

I met a guy at cabrillo that said he and his brother kayaked to Catalina and came back via the Marina del Rey flyer. If I remember correctly he said it took something like 8hrs to get there.

i'd go with you if i were there. i posted up about it a couple times with no takers and alot of "what if" comments.

if not for the fishing, just for the ride would be awesome!

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...

Send a message via Yahoo to Old Man in the Sea
A group of guys from Fastlane did it in adventure kayaks with sails and camped and fished over there -

Years ago a kayaker, Ed Gillette, left California and kayaked to HAWAII, alone and unassisted. That was an epic trip!

Sounds like fun, Bob, I'm in with the AI's. I'll be coming from Costa Rica, so we will have to determine a meeting point/coordinates somewhere beyond halfway. If I can catch the front of a tropical storm/hurricane down here, I probably could beat you there.

Ed was in his late 20's or early 30's. At 65 I don't think so! Could not even sail downwind to CR at my age. Do they fly yaks to CR?

I don't know. I've never seen one with wings before. Wonder if the mirage drive could be modified.

No, the airlines are really getting strict on weight/size limits. It would have to be a much shorter yak than the AI. There is a dealer in Panama City, closest one, who I've ordered thru. But I've got a brand new Revo 13 with my AI in CR upon my return, your more than welcome to use, would be fun. I'll pm you later with details.
