Guiness World Record Holder

Row, row, row your boat

Row, row, row your boat

Well, not yet. It is not yet official.

But I don’t think I could listen to Row, row, row your boat anymore.

Yes, I joined the recent attempt to break the current record of 154 participants for a nursery rhyme relay. There were 180 of us for the Nursery Rhyme Relay singing of Row, Row, Row Your Boat during the 10th Richmond Maritime Festival held in Richmond, British Columbia.

After 6 tries we did it. (whew)

Here’s the proof (video b-roll footage of the attempt):

Yes, I am the one singing the long-winded “streeaaaammmm…” (and loved it)

But then, that’s the beauty of Canada. They have opportunities like this. Opportunity for community, to participate in amazing experiences that you would not otherwise think of, or have; the silly, the funny, the fun. One that’s for the books.

But until it’s official, can’t rest on my laurels.

As there’s another World Record attempt coming up. That is, they are going to attempt to have the Largest Human Peace Sign at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver) on September 21. More information here

Never thought I would do or be part of something like this.

But then these are the quirky, curve-ball-ish, seemingly meaningless stuff life is made of. The point? I am not really sure. But at least once—or twice—gotta go out there and have a crack at, well, breaking world records.

And maybe initiate one.

Hmmm…
