[Paddlewise] how far offshore?

Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me again. I thought the original 
question of "how far offshore" one could safely paddle came from a person who 
was relatively new to the concept of  paddling in the ocean, including the 
coastline. Do the answers which are coming in to the group address the 
concerns and limitations of such a person? - Bill Hansen
