Mothershipping, Big & wild? Not kayak fishing at all?

I googled "215 Club"....got nothing intelligible.
So I guess I don't own one.

I'm a lifelong Republican.
A prima facie case for enduring sanity.
Res ipsa loquitur.

Kayakers who paddle 2-miles out lose "landfall" in the troughs of waves.
It only lasts 8-16 seconds....but every one of us has been impressed.
In fact 2-miles out "landfall" can be tenuous at the top of a wave.
And being solo 2-miles out in fog?

Having had the 2-mile out experience and the fog experience, it excites every fiber to consider a solo coastal trip from BC to SF.

This trip HAS been done by modern men with plastic boats, gps and good plasticized maps.  If you go do it tomorrow, you'll be like guys trekking to the top of K-2 and Everest.   Quite a feat.   But.........

What about:   BC to SF by an ancient man in a skin boat, whalebone paddle, no maps, instruments....

Its fair to wonder if anyone could have been so brave...
And what, given the topology, would have become of that explorer-kayaker?

It's interesting (and daunting) to me, that my misunderstanding(s) would have trapped me in Puget Sound.

Gee...d'u suppose THAT'S why there are so many people of Inuit descent living in the Olympia-Ferndale Washington area...???....

Judd,  I'm in.  Let's do it.  But I gotta fish the whole way, k?

I already posted this earlier in the thread, but, the mothership just get's you in the vicinity of fish, like the Bean Hollow parking lot does. You still have to find them, catch them and land them like at any other location.

I really can't disagree with you. In fact, I voted "yes" on the poll question: if you're fishing from a kayak, then you're kayak fishing. The mothership-plus-kayak scenario just struck me as redundant. I have no excuse, however, for bringing unicycles into the conversation.

Totally off topic-- do you ride a unicycle?

I tried in my twenties and barely got up long enough to fall over. Now that I'm 47 it doesn't strike me as a wise hobby to pursue.

As for the "so I can say I did it" line I have to admit that it was stupid. I'm sorry I threw it into the exchange.

no reason to apologize... I think half of these threads are random stream-of-conciousness, and people thinking outloud- which is why i (for the most part) like the site

a bit off topic but here in Aptos there is a group of mountain bike unicyclist.  Theses guys and gals are going up and down some serious terrain, so perhaps they could uni down to the stream

as to the sunni/shiite, republicrat/demublican, 13/14, red/blue, road/mountain, mothership/pure paddle I just say in the immortal words of that great scholar Rodney King, "Cant we all just get along?"
