So if I said the most I've done is 16 miles you lot would just laugh..
It is not about the NM you travel - rather the enjoyment of the miles you experience.

I had to stop for fuel in Ludington, then rumb line course to Hammond. Not sure what you aren’t following, 300 plus miles in varying seas, it took what it took.Longest for me was Chicago (Hammond) to Charlevoix. 10 hours 45 minutes. The 45 minutes was for fuel in Frankfort. Ran the rhumb line up the middle of the lake to Big Sable - lots of open water and no phone/internet service. This was also early in the season (April 23, 2016) so never saw one other boat and lake temps were reading 38*.
I’m not following how it took one of you 12 hours to go from Harbor to Spring Lake and the other 22 hours from Mackinac Island to Michigan City?
Maybe that was the time you trawlered all the way to save fuel.I had to stop for fuel in Ludington, then rumb line course to Hammond. Not sure what you aren’t following, 300 plus miles in varying seas, it took what it took.
After Hurricane Micheal hit Panama City/ Mexico Beach/Apalachicola last Sept, we spent 5 days in Mobile waiting for it to pass, then we went non-stop Mobile to Cape Coral - 535 miles/52 hours - straight - no power of fuel in the Panhandle. Just to show you what a glutton for punishment Susan and I must be, we did it in reverse this past May! NEVER AGAIN!! What we thought would be a "leisurely" 4 hrs ON/4 hrs OFF, beam seas changed it to 52 hours of bridge catnaps - NOT FUN!! BOTH TIMES!@carterchapman has to hold some kind of record in this category.
That was part of it.Maybe that was the time you trawlered all the way to save fuel.
