<p>Paddle the inside - off "The Route" - much more fun! And I agree with my friend - when the wind come up - the lower profile the better.</p>

I have done it both in a touring kayak and a solo canoe. You will be fine, just permit ground sites preferable over chickees as they are easier to load/unload in a kayak vs canoe in the backcountry. You will be happy in the touring kayak when winds come up which is guaranteed.

<p>Jamie you will be fine in a sea kayak on the inside route. If you want to do something like the Wood River a craft 15' or less is handy. Otherwise the length does not matter.</p>

<p>But do pay attention to the tide tables and factor in a delay as the tidal points are usually on the Gulf shore. Its a nightmare to get stuck in the Nightmare in a sea kayak</p>
