I don't know what his route was, but thirty minutes earlier he was probably
over land east of the lake.


No, he would have been well offshore. The lake is about 80 nm wide at that
point, and that's if you're traveling straight across. The news said he would
have been swimming against a 3 knot headwind, so he was fighting higher winds at
altitude. Unless his Archer could true at least 175 knots, he was over water 30
minutes earlier.

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.
