I have been fishing inside that breakwall lately at some of the oil islands and have been venturing by myself. It has been super calm each morning I've gone out but I make sure to take my VHF radio, pfd, and look out for large boats. This hasn't been a problem and it feels totally safe. In fact a couple of days ago when I was there, I met another lone yakker.
NOW... these islands are onlyhalfway to the breakwall. If I had the time, I think I wouldn't be too worried to go out to that breakwall by myself, again, because I have a radio and pfd. I'm saying this because I'm thinking that if my yak can no longer be used due to damage or what not, there are so many other little boats out there along with the huge a$$ shipping boats that someone SHOULD be able to rescue me especially if I can radio for help. Anyway, that's just my $.02. I still consider myself a newbie yakker and I'm certainly afraid to go out by myself to where some of these other guys go for YT or even BFT!
