I started reading the book, "Keep Australia On Your Left" this weekend. It is about two guys who attempt to kayak around Australia. Before I moved down here I wanted to kayak over to a nearby island, Tortuga, which is about 6 miles away at the closest distance. I still want to do this, but before I do, I think it would be helpful to read about kayaking in the ocean before I go out and get swept away to Cuba. I really don't think it would be that difficult on a calm day, but getting back might be a challenge. Even so, my brother gave this book to me and said by the time I am done I will know a lot about kayaking so I thought now would be a good time to read it. So far it has been a good book. I'll keep you posted on our adventures and if I make the trip over with Thom, who has a two person sea kayak here.
