I always wear a life preserver. In these water temps...About 15 knots - depending on wind direction is my outside limit for launching the Skeeter. It is 20'6" with a 6' beam.
Not that I haven't been out in worse. I have been around Overton when It was really blowing (20 to 30 knots) from the NW. Not pretty. Just if I have a choice I'll err on the side of caution.
I know kayaks can take a lot. This time of year the window for rescue is a little shorter than summer though.
So epic or mini epic? Good you guys handled it.
