Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Re: Recommendation/Suggestion/Advice Kindly Required
« Last post by Mark L on Today at 06:20:11 PM »I believe there are a few items that you must have for your adventure.
1. A new kayak
2. A new spare drive
3. A adequate suit for extreme conditions
4. Adequate weather information devices
5. Reliability, and strengthening upgrades to the kayak.
6. Satellite phone
7. At least 2 high quality radios
8. Probably many more items I can’t think of
Any less, and they absolutely will not let you enter the competition. They cannot allow a tragedy to happen on their watch.
For your past adventures I suggested that you start a Go Fund Me to garner some funds, and you declined because you wanted to do it all on your own. Please reconsider, and think about putting a resume together to get sponsored by Hobie, or one of the local dealers.
Another consideration would be to crew on one of the teams if any open spots are available so you could get the full experience of the event your first time out. The learning during the trip would be invaluable for your solo go at it.
Tedski is a veteran of the Coast Guard, and spent many years performing rescues so please take his advice seriously.
