Offshore Kayaking manly man adventure thread - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You are welcome Dano! I was hesitant to post it, but I wanted to share and get some people motivated to go for it. The day I went, there were perfect conditions for doing it. Wind and Swell were virtually non existent. I would go again if the forecast was the same. I don't know if I would do it solo again though; too many what ifs by yourself. I am down for it if the conditions get right again. Keep us posted on who, and when and I will join the search! Boat support would be great, but to be honest I would be more into doing it unsupported, from the kayak, from the beach!

Went out yesterday. So many boat bearings to keep track of in not what Id call good paddle conditions. One in particular was visible and bow-on for almost 20mi. I knew it was huge but I couldnt see a profile. Finally I looped back on my track and let it pass as it seemed to be on collision course for a long time.

209' yields to no yak.

I agree. 100 % manpower.
