Ed Gillet is the person your referring to. - Check out Southwest Kayaks home page at http://www.swkayak.com/sw_hp.html. You'll find the story of his crossing under the "Tales & Tips" area.

In it they features several "Expedition" type paddlers (of cource using necky boats). One feature was about a guy who paddled a Necky double - COMPLETLY outfitted - from somwhere on te West coast to Hawaii. I mean this guy had desalination units, and a list of other gadgets that I can't remember all of. He Made it, and it was an interesting story of a VERY long SOLO open water crossing. I wish I could find the brochure, but perhaps some of the Outfitters out there might have it around still, or someone else might remember the story and could better tell the story...
