Paddlewisers,

I just completed my sixth Catalina for Lunch crossings, which consist of paddling 19 NM to Catalina Island in Southern California, having lunch, and paddle back the same day, making for a 38 NM day. This time I did it solo.

I used a GP for the crossings, and it worked wonderfully. No blisters or sore joints to report the day after, and that was doing it in a rudderless and skegless kayak. My crossing times were pretty good too.

Anyway, the video report is at:
