Open ocean is still a bad idea for lots of reasons, there’s little room for navigation equipment or food or water or emergency supplies or a way to dry off and get warm… But they seal up pretty well so you won’t sink and rolling upright is a pretty basic skill.
In time of crisis bikes are THE best transportation mode.
Yeah, canoe or kayak are also good choices. They are basically the bikes of the sea.
Don’t take a canoe or kayak out into blue water. They are really only useful in brown water.
Is there really much need to go more than a few miles from shore though?
Depends on your intended destination, I suppose.
Sea kayaks are a thing, one dude got from Germany to Australia in one in the 30s.
Huh, TIL. I wouldn’t want to be on a craft that small in the ocean.

Nah , dirtbikes are. Fast, nimble, can go off road.
In a crisis, every bike is a dirtbike.
