Get a pedal kayak, a Hobie Revolution 13 (or 16) or Native Slayer Propel 13 (the lightweight one).  Then practice self rescue as well as get all the safety equipment.  Lots of info here, good luck!

Safety equipment first.  I am still scared of the big blue.  Haven't dipped my toes to the salty ocean yet.....
