To ask people to respect the ocean and not get in over their heads is one thing. But to spread conjectures to dissuade others....html[/url]
Hogwash nothing. The warnings are clearly spelled out by at least one of the top kayak outfitters in the area, at least the one who is honest about the trip.
It is
17 miles of paddling in some of the roughest waters of the islands - common sense dicates that anyone prone to sea sickness or who might lack the stamina to finish a long, very strenuous and rough paddle should not select this trip and should instead focus on one of the sailing or powered-boat excursions which would be far more enjoyable for someone who doubts they have the ability to finish this trip.
Who would want to voluntarily spend an entire day of misery unless they knew full well what they were getting into and were comfortable with the challenges of the trip.
