Hi Scott: I would suggest any list of great seakayaking journeys would be incomplete without the following [ not listed in any particular order]: # Lindemann's solo crossing of the Atlantic in the 1930s # Ed Gillet's solo crossing of the Pacific from Monterey to Hawaii in 1987 # Paul Caffyn's solo circumnavigation of Australia in the 1980s # Oskar Speck's solo journey from Europe to Australia in the late 1930s. No doubt other journeys by Gillet, John Dowd [ South America and Caribbean] , Eric Stiller [ Sydney to Darwin ] should be considered in the modern era... That should set the discussion going....
