In order to calculate the number of miles traveled this summer I needed the assistance of Google maps. I was only focused on the total miles listed at the top of the page without paying much attention to the “directions.” PC about fell out of his chair laughing when he looked at the directions from Seattle to Japan. Particularly noteworthy are number 7 and 21. Really, a kayak? Not a speedboat or a sailboat or a cargo ship or a PLANE? A Kayak. Across the Pacific Ocean. For 6,000 miles. This is one of the best things I’ve seen in awhile.
