Hi Paddlers,

I am planning to paddle to Horn Island (10 miles off-shore mississipi). I
have limited open sea paddling experience and I will like to get some
advises on what safety equipement to bring. (extra paddle, flare, radio,
sea anchor?, ...)

I have an inflatable sea kayak (Aire sea tiger), I realize it is not as
fast as a proper sea kayak, but I don't have the room for a proper one! I
will like to know what is the average speed of a proper kayak in calm sea
condition, average paddler so I can compare with mine.

Thanks

Bruno
