" ...Andrew's ...choice of using a reasonably ordinary kayak... As a general rule, your typical sea kayak isn't designed for long crossings" At some point, the style in which the trip is attempted is important. What would be the point in crossing the Tasman in a 40' yacht? On the other hand, swimming across is likely too hard. So if you decide to use a sea kayak, how much modification of the kayak is OK before the trip is not worthwhile? Is a Peter Bray / Atlantic trip a sea kayak trip? I am sure Andrew felt that the trip had to count as a sea kayak crossing, and only allowed himself certain modifications and additions. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
