Has anyone tried on their own to pumpkin boat in their giant pumpkin down a river? Grittykins/ blossom down/ Brandon said he was going to try below woodinville wa USA spoke to him for a couple hours on Sunday haven’t heard from him since.

That's the thing...I'd be worried about a solitary journey in an unlicensed, although maybe officially-weighed...craft.
Best of luck to him - eg

That would sure be a site to see! Would they even float?

Could you imagine floating down a river in a pumpkin and a couple paddles!

A Missouri dude owns the record on the Missouri river. He started in Kansas City, Missouri and spent 11 hours on the river! Gritty should contact him. He's on here.

It's a lot of fun, but I wouldn't advise anyone to attempt it on moving water without a safety crew along side. Still compiling my evidence for Guinness, but the official distance was 63.04 km, or a bit over 39 miles. I think Chris was a bit shy of it. Feel free to message/email me with any questions, I'm not on here much in the 'off season'

Whether it was the world record or not you damn well deserve it. Quite a feat to conquer.
