Fascinating read

For those mornings when getting up at 4:30 to launch a kayak in the ocean for a few hours feels *excessive*

That dude is mentally tough. But for sure a screw loose. Paddling naked across the ocean.

I bet this guy has never lost a staring contest.....never.

I paddled out of DP harbor last year and paddled out a couple miles (I think). then fished for a couple hours. (skunked) Then paddled back up wind and up current for what seemed like a week. I can't imagine paddling for more than couple hours straight.

Pretty dedicated, but personally, I'd rather go down to Baja, or even Panama.
