In fact, some NPS rangers called me after I sent them the float plan for my latest crossings to the Channel Islands in September. They were concerned about the danger of my trip. They seemed to have difficulty understanding the difference between what a skilled sea kayaker can do versus an average one. I was worried they were going to try to stop my trip. Needless to say, I am back safely and without rescue (sorry, Doug). To maintain a good relationship with the rangers, I mailed them a thank you letter, my second one in as many years.
