Man breaks Guinness record for longest journey by pumpkin boat

Transcript

Duane Hansen grew an 800 pound pumpkin, hollowed it out and paddled it down the Mississippi river.

STEVE INKSEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Duane Hansen had a dream. He'd grown an 800-pound pumpkin, and his dream was to hollow it out and paddle it down the Missouri River. He gave it a name, as any proper boat should have, and he made it in Berta 38 miles to reach a cheering crowd in Nebraska City.

(CHEERING)

INSKEEP: His voyage set a new Guinness World Record for longest journey by pumpkin boat, but he's not planning an encore.

DUANE HANSEN: I ain't going to do this again. I'm done with this.

INSKEEP: It's MORNING EDITION.
