I think it is within reach. Get in some pool instruction and some local
experience first and have fun on your trip. When you are out on your own
loaded with camping gear it is not the time for your first upset and
re-entry. Find a club nearby and go out and have some fun a few weekends
before your big trip. My preference for a trip like this would be for 2
boats not a tandem. With 2 boats you should have one person still mobile to
assist the other person in the event of an upset. I personally went over on
a fla****er river trip last weekend and lost my paddle and hat (don't ask -
I talk with my hands and was sitting still taking a break - in my defense I
was not in a fla****er boat, it was a tippy-er WW kayak) and my paddling
partner was pressed into service to retrieve my stuff - when he could
control the laughter ;- Let us know how it goes. ---- A paddle log would be
great!

Hi everybody!

I'm totally new to seakayaks, but not to sealife, having sailed and
generally navigated for many years (more than 20).
Me and my girlfriend would like to go on vacation in the Mediterranean Sea
renting a seakayak. We'd like to use it for coast excursions, camping on
beaches or similar, so never going from island to island, in the open sea.

Do you think this would be anyway dangerous, given a normal attention to
sea
signs (avoiding navigation with bad weather or windy/wavy days)?

I'd like to understand if it is totally mad to go out for a two weeks
seakayak vacation, having no prior experience.

Thank you in advance for any advice and experience report.

Bye,
Fabio
