long distance kayaking

[makobob]

Nice goals, Join me in Sept or November. I plan on leaving from Makoville and rowing to Isla de La Guardia doing a ciermnmavagation and rowing back to Makoville. Thats 200+miles with a crossing of about 15 miles from La Bay to the island. That can be a rough crossing for a yak. I will follow your progress. Any one interested in joining me me please contact me on Faceboob . my page is Mako-Ville. Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out. That sounds like a really intense trip!

Guys will get to fish areas without tons of fiashing pressure. I would camp out on the beaches and Island. My row boat "Second Wind" will carry supplies, a water maker, camping gear and cook gear and act as a support boat. Yes radios for safety and a small outboard motor for emergencies. Still lots of plannibg to do.

RIP Bob! I never met you, but you sounded like an incredible person and were a friend to many on this board.

I'm reviving this thread because I'm eager to get back to long distance paddles once the stay-at-home orders are lifted. Back in March I did a 20 mile paddle (ok fine, it was 19.9 miles), so now I'm thinking about 25 miles. The earlier sunrise will help. Really all I have to do is fish less and paddle more. I don't see it being that bad.

lowprofile, let's do a launch from Carlsbad or Oceanside once we're able to. Maybe those sharks will be around.

Anyone else interested in this sort of thing?

I'd also be down for a Baja trip in the fall with an overnight stay somewhere that can only be reached by water.

I might be game for this, I'll probably be pedaling but id be in none the less, especially if we are looking for pelagics along the way.

Anyone interested in a 20 mile day, 10 miles straight out from either LJ or MB and then 10 miles back? I'd like to see some blue water.

Keep an eye on the chloro charts. It will probably happen again this year or next. Once the conditions align and the tuna move in tighter I will be down to join you. When we fished 8-10 miles out it ended up being almost a 30 mile day. You are on the right track!
