If one is planning a 24hr round trip, it helps.


But yeah, kayakers should be very competent swimmers. "Expert" status not necessary... but being 30 miles off coast?

Cold water is the main enemy. Even an expert swimmer would freeze within minutes.

This guy had holes in his drysuit; so, it wasn't a drysuit any more. Not just that, but looking at the neck gasket... LOL.
