>I have a dream to do this one day. It is very far off, to be sure...I've
been looking at websites, and can't seem to find one piece of crucial info:
How long a distance is it?  What is the circumference?<

580 nautical miles.

Mike and a friend (Mike is an instructor friend of mine from the Victoria
Canoe & Kayak Center) got some good weather in early spring and completed
the circumnavigation in six weeks. Mike's friend was a relatively new
paddler, which suggests that they obviously kept a good weather eye and kept
hyper-vigilant -- strategies that are as important as good skills, perhaps
skills in their own right.

Mike can be reached through the company web site I imagine:

or directly at:
