I'm sure he means statute miles and I would venture that it takes hime ALLLLLL morning to do that kind of trip. that would take him 6 hours at 6mph (10 min miles)... Still though, this guy is in some SERIOUS good shape.. :-)

I was able to go at 5.98mph average for 8.5 miles the other day and it wasn't TOO hard but I had a 1-2knot ebb.. and I'm a beginner with a 'slow touring' boat..
