Hi guys,

We did it !
We started with 5 people in the fruit then 6!
Pumpkin was still floating nicely. We could add 1 or 2 guys but room and stability are the major problems.

No chance with four in my 1331 . the cavity was so small I think there was not enough place for me alone ( But I count for three french people according to your pics Mehdi!)
ok, stop kidding: I never tried a pumpkin boat, perhaps Beni Meier (CH) did
Congrats to new WR ;)!

Thanks ! Didn't row 1km. It was very cold , nobody wanted to stay hours inside lolll but it's possible.
Will try to catch a big fish from it tomorrow or monday but water is so cold, that's a hard challenge.

Joe, with such good seeds, it's easier to grow big ones :-)

that is neat!!!!

You have to be the first person ever to catch a fish out of a pumpkin boat ever. (if not the first I know the biggest fish,,,lol!!...)

Mehdi,, if I where you I would try and send them pictures to the ''world record'' people, not only for the most ever put in a pumpkin boat, but also for the fish you caught,, seriously,,lol. I bet the web site ''Believe it or Not'' would be very interested in both of your accomplishments.

For the Guiness, I don't know what they need to certify it. It was very fun ! Will try again next year.
