Peddle vs. Paddle - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Before I bought my first kayak, I tried out both. One day coming back in against a fairly strong wind it took me three hours to paddle back to the harbor. I bought a hobie.

a friend told me of an experience he had had with a guy who only used a pedal hobie, but then borrowed a paddle kayak to fish one day... the guy had never developed a paddle stroke since he never had to, and had a very tough time in the wind... so much so that he flipped... now, the question arose, if your pedals break on the water, are you able to paddle back safely...? just a thought...
