Got this link from a FB page from my hometown. This guy is from Lake Jackson, TX.

If this is legit, it's nuts.

That's 315 miles a day. Like driving from N Dallas to Galveston. Every day. In a John boat. Wow

I don't want to do that in an automobile. I'm pretty sure I really won't want to at 71 years of age.

Lots of footage on Facebook and such.

He would have been quicker if he did get stuck by a storm in lake Michigan and then have to fix some welds in his boat after crashing into some reeds after falling asleep at the helm.
