Believe me I would love to take one of those things out there, but ill be fine in the PA. This is my pride and joy and will take me everywhere. Plus I figure I might as well do it while I'm younger haha. The PA isn't that slow honestly. It still beats the hell out of paddling and I was prepared to do that before I got this.

you can also put a sail on it and cruise it on over. That is if the SS group that is putting it on will let you go.

I vote that if you want to be approved for the trip you have to take a trip with Josh (darkhorse) and he can sign you off if you keep up with him all day! ha ha WE PUT IN SOME MILES!!!
I haven't been that sore in years!

Yea I've seen a few guys sailing their PA's before but that's money I don't think will be put to good use for me at least might use it twice and then never see it again haha.
Well apparently if you aren't already part of the pre determined select group to do this trip then there is a lot of proving that you need to do. I feel bad for people who want to get into kayak fishing and visited this thread or current members that got excited about this trip and then realized how discouraging it became because nazis run it. What happened to the friendly message this thread started out with?

Gung ho? That's funny. As far as my comment about paddling around otay, endurance. Finyak as well as a few others know that I can handle myself in open ocean. No need for concern

You folks are acting as if the day that Cabo and his posse choose to go to Catalina would be the only day possible to do that. If you want to go, plan it , do it, give us a report. This whole dick measuring thing it's just a waste of energy.

I was just hoping to have a fun trip with some fellow kayakers to a place I've never been before. The minute someone else decided to plan a trip then there is an alternative option. Otherwise this is what I had wanted to do. HAD wanted to do
