Re: [Paddlewise] limited ....

Larry,

I guess one trip I would like to try when I can arrange the time as sort
of a shakedown would be North Carolina to Bermuda.  Around 600 miles. 
If I like that then longer trips.  I wouldn't do it as any type of
record attempt, just personal satisfaction. Shorter trips like Florida
to the Bahamas have been done many times by sailing kayak and I would
think that would be nice. In good conditions in a sailing kayak loaded
for touring I would think 8 knots average reaching would be doing well. 
Bear in mind that when I say sailing kayak, I mean one that can convert
from sailing to paddling while on the water and stow the sail gear
aboard.  I am not talking about kayak based performance sailboat.  
I'm sure someone must like it but 300 miles down a river in 24 hrs
sounds a lot like work to me.
