Re: Mustang Island-775 Reef
In a kayak? Isn’t that in federal waters? Think that might be out of reach even for Prof Salt.

Yeah that’s what I saw lol. Should make it there by noon if I launch at daylight.

Re: Mustang Island-775 Reef
For a strong paddler it’s not the distance that is the issue. When you’re that far from shore and a thunderstorm pops up, life can get more interesting than you want and those storms can move a lot faster than any of us. Been there...
Re: Mustang Island-775 Reef
Yup, me too. I've had some pretty terrifying mistakes getting caught offshore in thunderstorms.Prof. Salt wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 10:40 pm For a strong paddler it’s not the distance that is the issue.

Also if something goes wrong, not catastrophic in nature, but still hinders your ability to make normal speed, you're a lot further away from the shore. I'm thinking of things like technical issues (paddle/peddle drive/rudder/leak issues) or even small personal injuries like blowing out a shoulder or knee or something like that, or get a bad bleeder cut, etc... You're way out from self helping yourself back to shore.
I keep my offshore targets to about 5 miles max from shore.
