On Saturday June 5th, Robbin and I plan to be part of an attempt to set a Guinness World's Record for the largest paddling flotilla of kayaks and canoes. This record setting attempt is included as part of Pittsburgh's World Environmental Day Celebration. The current record is 1,104 canoes and kayaks, but Venture Outdoors is trying to register 1500 boats to create a record that will last. So far there are over 1,300 registered so they're well on their way. We're looking forward to it. It should be really cool to see that many boats in the same place at the same time. I hope the weather cooperates.
How did this go? We tried to be a part of a similar gathering in Old Town Maine several years ago. It was embarassingly short of the record.
ReplyDeleteEven though the weather was horrible, 1800+ canoes and kayaks took part. That number easily shattered the old record of 1104. We just have to wait for confirmation by the Guinness people to make it official.
