Of course, now i am planning another attempt at this...
This time i will bring a life raft along for confidence. If there is a storm, I can always inflate it (C02, so it inflates automatically) and ride out the storm on the life raft.
Then, reboard the kayak when conditions improve.

Check out the February issue of Sea Kayaker magazine. It tells about a guy who did EVERYTHING wrong in an attempted crossing of Lake Michigan. A few highlights of his how-not-to-do-it fiasco:
1. He went alone.
2. He left at around 5 PM and paddled into the night, which disoriented him and made him seasick.
3. He paddled east to west, into the wind.
4. He left even though wind was predicted.
5. He brought a cell phone and expected it to work all the way across a 50 - 80 mile wide section of lake. He put it in a ziploc bag, so it got wet and stopped working anyway.
6. He did it in a rental kayak that crunched his feet and was too tippy for him to rest. He had never paddled it before.
7. He brought an EPIRB rescue device that didn't work.
8. No VHF radio.
9. He brought a leaky spray skirt.
10. When he tipped over in the middle of the lake, he was so numb and exhausted that he couldn't get back in the boat. He was adrift in the middle of Lake Michigan.
Lucky for him, the water was 70 degrees and he actually wore a wet suit, the one smart thing he did. He was rescued by a ship who he thought was answering his EPIRB. In fact, it was dumb luck. Nobody heard his distress signal. It was a miracle that this guy survived.
