Pretty amazing trip, averaging about 200 miles per day.

120 locks, 5300 miles, 2 major repairs.

The pontoon boat was capable of about 40 mph so it was just a bit
faster than the average 'tooner.


Harry will be here to tell how his father did that in a rowboat in
winter and got to have tea with the Queen of England because of it.
