Kokua,
Good to hear from you again. Getting along is a key ingrediant in long passage making. Big egos can make a good trip pretty sour. I've been involved with lots of different types of crews. Oh the stories I could get into if I went off on that tangent. But, this thread is about boats and inaccessable waves.
Boats are a great option. But, boat trips can go pear shaped real fast if you are not prepared and well experienced. I've done tens of thousands of miles on the open sea. One thing that never fails to amaze me is that after weeks at sea monitoring the radio, once we get back to within VHF range of U.S. waters all of a sudden the waves will light up with all sorts of calls for assistance. I guess that is why Vessel Assist is a profitable venture. So, the best piece of advice I can give is to get experience in all aspects of seamanship, navigation, first aid and boat maintanance. Especially if you plan to explore outside of VHF or Cell range.
4X4's in Baja are also a great option that I took all throughout my college years. And, small private aircraft are also a fantastic way to swoop in on a break at exactly the right time in exactly the right conditions. But, always do it with the experts and get experience before going it on your own.
