Dreyer successfully crossed Lake Michigan in 1998
Jim Dreyer was pulled from the water last Thursday after 60 miles.
A support boat pulled up and informed him that he had been swimming north all day - "the wrong direction," said Dreyer, who had left Grand Haven on Tuesday. Dreyer said his "brain was mush" and he was having hallucinations about a steel wall - "stuck my hand right through it" - and cargo ships. He figured he would need a few more days to reach Milwaukee, but there was a forecast of 9-foot waves.
