A guy I used to hangar with was a corporate pilot. He had a little Grumman Yankee and one year he decided to invite an old WWII pilot to ride with him to the Oshkosh fly-in for a day. They flew direct across Lake Michigan and the corporate guy let the WWII guy fly while he took a nap. The WWII guy got bored and figured since they were beyond gliding distance from shore, he dropped down on the deck. A little later, the corporate pilot awoke to find they were just off the water in the middle of Lake Michigan!

I myself will not fly SEL over large expanses of water, but the corporate guy was not happy that day I can assure you.
