I would suggest, instead of jumping into open water your 3rd time ever on the kayak...you should probably stick to the bays for awhile...I doubt your 100% comfortable on your kayak...and know what to do if something goes wrong just your 3rd time out...build up your endurance, it's a long paddle and if your not ready for it you could be in the shits....
I say slow down a little, learn your kayak and how it paddles. Get in and out several times, have a plan just incase something bad happens. You don't want to get caught out there not knowing how to save yourself. Don't count on anybody saving you either, because somebody might not always be there or within reach or screaming distance.
