T&T: Boating in Florida

[Jeff Bacon]

Here is another astounding Michigan fact that I read quite some time 
ago. I cannot point to the article  this many years later, but it said 
that with all of Michigans little coastal nooks and crannies, and the 
Upper Peninsula, that Michigan has more coast line than the east coast 
of the US.

Can anyone verify or discredit ?
