Default half-way round the world in a kayak

The only thing I'm worried about is the weather, flipping over and sinking.

Sharks, snakes, skunks, bees, rats, bears, mosquitos, flies, sunburn,
dehydration, starvation, disease, illness, fungus, infection,
loneliness, monotony, drinking water, collisions, theft, bleeding to
death, murder, boredom, dimentia, repetitive stress injury, hypothermia,
getting lost, legal problems, lack of money, and all you are worried
about is the weather and flipping over and sinking?
1. learn to do the eskimo roll in case you capsize.
2. Build your boat from wood so it doesn't sink.
You'll do fine.

Hello,

I'm considering the possibility of buying a large kayak in the Med., putting
some stuff in it and going half-way around the world in it.

Will it make it? Are there any modfications I can make to it which will
make it more resistant to the weather?

Every night, I'll pull it onto shore (I'll be able to lift it) and camp out
on the beach or wherever I stop.

The only thing I'm worried about is the weather, flipping over and sinking.

Can anyone enlighten me on this idea? Personal experiences would be helpful


Thanks,
Victor
