SooToday's Alex Flood tells us the story of Brent Rouble, a local paddler who took to the St. Marys River in the hopes of breaking a very unique world record
In each “Behind the Scenes” segment, Village Media's Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our local journalists to talk about the story behind the story.
After growing a 900-pound pumpkin in his east-end backyard, the local geologist managed to paddle in the giant plant for just over 23 kilometres along St. Marys River and the open waters of Lake Huron on Sunday before some tough waves forced him to stop. “It was such a cool adventure; the sights were absolutely beautiful,” he told SooToday. “That was seriously the best pumpkin a guy could ask for in doing something like this. It was tough as nails, it floated perfectly, and it was stable. I didn’t feel worried about tipping at all.”
“I was literally crawling to St. Joseph Island,” he says. “The speed just wasn’t enough. The currents really were the only thing that didn’t go right through all of this. I knew it wasn’t going to be safe to go all through the night and into the morning.” “American boaters were passing us, and we saw them doing double takes since they were wondering what we were doing which was pretty funny.”
