Hey, I guess I was unclear on my original post because a lot of people have mentioned (private and public) that the Edisto's would not be good for ocean kayaking. I'm currently in Colorado -- same place as the kayaks -- so I thought we would just play around on the kayaks this summer on nearby lakes, then sell the kayaks when we set off for the bike trip (hopefully most of the other gear would be worth keeping for later use). If we do decide to do a big trip later then I'd be much more particular about getting boats that were well suited for that purpose and to us. But a few people have mentioned that this boat would be difficult to learn to roll, and that Gore-Tex spray skirts aren't the most sea-worthy. Maybe this wouldn't be the best setup for a summer of learning? Although I also doubt the used sea-kayak market is as good here as it is near the sea! -John *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
