You could be up at 3000 feet there so it could have been gliding distance.
However, they were reportedly going into Gary so maybe they were staying
low.

An American Legend Cub lost engine power over Lake Michigan about 4
miles out from Chicago.
The article says the passenger was able to stay afloat using a seat
cushion, but he got separated from the older pilot. They haven't been
able to find him as of 10 PM CDT.

The article also says it was unclear what the two were doing in OSH.

The real question is: What's a Cub doing beyond gliding distance from
land? The Chicago VFR cooridor is right over the shoreline, so
there's no need to be 4 miles out.
