Can we generate a list of all the published accounts of blue-water passages
by
kayak?  (And canoe?)
Probably a lot more people have accomplished this by rowing.  (Does that
tell
us something?)  Add sailboats 15 feet or less?  And even the pedal-boaters?
But let's find out about the kayakers most of all... That may be a fairly
small list!
Magazine articles as well as books.


Not to toot my own horn, but you might take a look at "Point Conception to
Mexico-A Common Man Kayak Adventure" that I published in May, 1998.  It's a
kayak journal about my 10 surfing pals and I that kayaked 344 miles from
Santa Barbara to the Mexican border with surfboards bungeed to the stern of
the kayaks.  Take a peek at it on at amazon.com.

Other kayak books and articles that I've enjoyed are "Kayaking the Vermilion
Sea" and of course Ed Gillet's account of his trip from Monterey, California
to Hawaii.
