Google it.



Hans Lindermann beat you to it in 1956. With tins and beer nonetheless. I don't have cable, but if I got the surname... I would have an idea of what you're talking about. :lol:

hans lindemann kayak - Google Search




3 knots an hour (with no wind or currents); assuming 6-8 hours a day. 3 litre of water a day... 2 pounds of food a day.

You're forgetting that the Pacific is dotted with tremendous amount of young inhabited islands. Although a newbie kayaker tried to do an open-ocean cross on the Pacific a few years ago with zero experience under his belt and drowned.

The Atlantic is totted around as more difficult because there's not as many stops along the way. And more unpredictable climate.

That lady need to add common sense in her brain.

I've use Google map often and when I drive and checked the direction on Google map. It showed wrong direction when I see correct street past by me. I made U turn and then enter correct street even Google map show it wrong. I don't always trust Google Map. It's my common sense. Sometime The Google map were wrong while there are street there or opening on the street. Sometime it was quirky.


Currently, my new Samsung Moment have Google Navigation. it was waaaay cool!! But it was kinda slow responding a bit when I made a turns.

So in fact are that we should be careful not to rely on technology too much. Technology are not perfect so just use common sense look at the Google map and actual street or highway. You'll be surprised that sometime it doesn't correspond to actual event.

That lady, Ms Rosenburg that she sued Google for $100,000. What she did was plain stupid just to follow Google map that leads her to highway. She could have known that she can see it's a highway by common sense and avoid any hills or curves before she plan to cross where drivers can see her in distance!.

That' one dumbest thing she could do. All she need to look around and use her sense!! SAFETY!!!!

If that woman win, she should go to see doctor and fix her brain.
 
Obviously, as we all know, Google Maps or any other navigation programs are not 100% reliable.

What happened to stop to ask the locals or at a gas station for directions? or a old fashioned (paper) map?

Apparently, in this case, this woman is being sue-happy? Who knows?
