re: Missing Kayaker in the gulf

Yeah, I used to have this awesome-sounding idea to try to paddle with some friends to horn island, about 5 or 6 miles south of the MS bay. It sounded so cool at the time but thankfully we didn't have the equipment/nobody had enough money to do it. I don't think we would have gone through with it either way..the ocean scares the absolute shite out of me. I get freaked enough out paddling around in the bay and bayous. How the hell do you know something isn't going to attack your boat or some storm isn't going to roll through?
