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.

  Last season, Necky had a promotional peicce that they had at a 
couple of the symposiums I attended.  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...
