What's the farthest someone has gone in their sunfish? Has anyone sailed from New England to Florida over the course of a couple of weeks? Would it be crazy to think that me and my brother could sail from Cannon Beach, Oregon (near the northern border) to southern California? I'm thinking that we could stay within sight of the coast, only sail in good weather, camp at night and just buy food and water as we go. On the road, it's about 1,100 miles. On the water it would be slightly less, maybe 950 miles. How long do you think that would take in average winds? Any idea how far off the coast we'd need to be to get the best winds and to take advantage of the south-flowing California Current?
We aren't planning the trip for comfort or style, but to set the record for the longest continuous trip in a sunfish.
