>>219746So when we're we decide to go out to sea, our kayaks practically match the roles of our cars, more or less.
We went like 20kms+ from shore on our kayaks (modified double ocean kayak or a large single kayak, to carry more stuff) and *tried* to spend 3 nights there,
I assure you, cooking a nice medium steak using a portable stove on a kayak is problematic but it was kinda worth it.
Going to sleep simply meant moving some of the stuff to the back, tying the kayaks together, reclining you feet to the seat in front and chucking a clear tarp or a plastic canopy around you and going for a nap for an hour or so, you can sleep pretty well depending on the weather, but just enough to really relax and be gently rocked to sleep for about 1-3 hours. The rest of the time we spend fishing and being towed around by tuna, or making sashimi.
We have turbo fins to ease mobility but sometime the current may be too strong to paddle back effectively or we've been drifted further out or up down the coast so we just chuck up the sails.
Downside is we can't really carry a fridge, so what meat we bring we bring with ice, and when it melt we really can't store what we catch, so we either eat it or if it is a big one we just quickly stop by the shore cut it up and put it in the fridge/freezer and stock up on ice.
White pointers (great whites) and most sea mammals are a tad of a problems as well, they steal your fish and are pretty inquisitive.
Great whites sharks spy hop and look you in the eye trying to figure out what you are, but shark repellants work well. Otherwise if you don't feed them they leave you alone.
We're eager to go on a dive trip soon but I am gonna have to take a scuba course.
Orcas are pretty swell too, but naturally like most animals you have to be careful around them, but otherwise they are incredible curious creatures.
