Google Maps: New York to Felixstowe the Hard Way



Try the above search at Google Maps and pay particular attention at point 23. This goes some way to explain the duration of the journey.

But how fast should leg 23 be completed if other sections average 40 mph?

Goodness gracious! What do AA, RAC and Michelin say? Google are having a laugh with this proposal.

Is that the real Graeme Smith, the Olympic 1500m swimming medallist? By my calculation Google would have you swimming 24/7 for four weeks at 125% of your medal winning pace i.e. about 5 mph - across the Atlantic. Otherwise the route - via France - is most excellent.
