I would advise working on system incorporating the use of compressed gas
to avoid those nasty balloon blowing sores in your cheeks.  And have you
given any thought to what your wife would think about your coming home
looking like Dizzie Gillispie?

But seriously, it's a matter of energy.  Air is light, water is heavy.
Our lungs are designed to move the light stuff.  Low energy methods can
move mountains through proper use of leverage/gearing, but do you have a
week and a half to empty the water out of the kayak.  I don't think so.
