It is going to be close, but I think he will shave a few hours off the old record (even though the 40ft Contender "Lady Lor" with her 4 man crew already broke the record last week). He will be the fastest single man. Fastest Jon Boat. And longest single man Jon Boat run. And if he hadn't run aground, hit the storm off shore and been forces to run the intercoastal waterway for 3 days, gotten slowed by a lock that closed an hour earlier than expected, had boat trouble (wave and shore pounding caused a crack and ribs that needed replaced), another storm, and motor trouble (faulty vent valve that took some time to diagnose), he would have been done a few days earlier. It is conceivable that IF everything went right he could have done the loop in 16 days.
It has been impressive to follow his journey.
