Like the poster that decided to play in the waves with his/her daughter and couldn't get back to camp because they were blown away. This is not a paddling forum. Some are pretty funny, though. I like these..... <>"Kayaking on the ocean just never seemed to safe to me. Can anyone explain why some have taken up kayaking on the sea? Is it a bigger thrill than riding the rapids." "Can't imagine, I mean, why would you want to paddle around in a dinky plastic shell in shark infested waters dressed as a burrito? They need to spend a little "quality time" in church after that little jaunt." "That part of the ocean is relatively calm." (I guess they never heard of hurricane season or the Gulf Stream) <>"Ocean Kayaks are for near shore activities in calm waters,(bays, estuaries, inside passages) Extended, open water, unsupported (no mothership) passages are insane. The map, if accurate, is interesting. They were pretty far out. Nice pictures of the fort.
