It looks like if you could make it to Hawaii you could island the rest of the way to east Asia. Why not travel north and sneak into Japan? The Japanese hate illegal aliens in their country!

LOS ANGELES – The U.S. Coast Guard says a man is "lucky to be alive" after he was rescued 11 days into an attempted kayak voyage from California to Hawaii.
A helicopter spotted the 57-year-old man, who had turned back to California, in the Pacific on Tuesday about 60 miles southwest of Santa Barbara's Point Conception after he sent a distress call indicating equipment failure, the Coast Guard said in a statement.
The helicopter directed a Coast Guard cutter crew to the man, who was found in good health, the statement said. His name was not released.

I did a little checking and found this answers my question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Islands
The Pacific Islands comprise 20,000 to 30,000 islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Three of the major groups of islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Most of the Pacific Islands lying south of the Tropic of Cancer are collectively referred to as Oceania,[1] although Oceania is sometimes defined as also including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago. These islands are traditionally grouped into the three divisions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia:
The islands of Oceania are classified into two groups, high islands and low islands. Volcanoes form high islands, which generally can support more people and have a more fertile soil. Low islands are reefs or atolls, and are relatively small and infertile. Melanesia, the most populous of the three regions, contains mainly high islands, while most of Micronesia and Polynesia are low islands.
In addition, there are many other islands located within the boundaries of the Pacific Ocean that are not considered part of Oceania. These islands include the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador; the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, United States; Vancouver Island in Canada; the Russian islands of Sakhalin and Kuril Islands; Taiwan and other islands of the Republic of China; the Philippines; islands in the South China Sea, which includes the disputed South China Sea Islands; most of the islands of Indonesia; and the island nation of Japan, which comprises the Japanese Archipelago.
Big difference between the two
The ultimate home school field trip?
“...you could island-hop the rest of the way to east Asia.”

John Lewis D GA
I know, the D is redundant....
I remember Rush ‘called’ him on it and figured ‘they’ would have had to throw a few people a day overboard...not all that smart — just throw away a ‘cash crop’ like that....
Lewis cut the figure in half and Rush went back at him and cut his figures in half with the same result being ‘Lewis was full of Horse Apples or Cow Pies’.
I would not want the bill for that rescue.
you would think a lot more people could make it as they could just rest on garbage island.
I think it was Sharpton. Rush even had a song about that. LOL
Cool! Thanks.
I’d be impressed if the fellow tried to kayak across Canada and the USA by land or if he bicycled to Hawaii. Now that would be something.
This is so stupid that he needs to be billed for the rescue. Maybe the article said that. I didn’t read any further than what was posted.

He could kayak the Lewis & Clark water route if he really wanted to do something neat.
