Some people have odd hobbies; there's a fellow in America who grows pumpkins. Lots of people do that, of course, but Duane is different. If he gets a particularly big one, he hollows it out and turns it into a boat. His latest giant weighed 384 Kg and was named Berta. Duane paddled Berta 61Km along the Missouri River, breaking the Guinness World Record for 'longest journey by pumpkin boat'. He's waiting for the Guinness people to validate it.
When asked for a comment, Duane said, "I probably wouldn't do that again." He doesn't have to, of course. His objective, clearly, was to get his name in the paper so he must be delighted with all the attention he has received.
