Kayak across the Pacific

So, I underestimated the distance to bike to my derm appointment this afternoon (note to all those who haven't yet spent entirely too much time in the sun without sunscreen: don't!)

I'll now have to drive (boo!) and so I turned to the always trustworthy and reliable google maps for directions. I typed in my starting address, and entered 3193 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta Dermatalogic, as the destination.

Except google maps thought I just meant 3193 in Australia. So it told me to kayak across the pacific to get there. I couldn't get a screenshot of all of the directions, but at the top and bottom of the turn-by-turn directions are the best part, including 6,635 miles of kayaking:


The grand total of the kayaking, with the stretch between Japan and Australia, is 9,993 miles. I guess I could paddle around in circles upon reaching the Northern Territory to make up that additional seven miles.

Should I strap the car to the front or back of the kayak?
