After paddling 50,000km, Australian police arrested this German kayaker

Unemployed and seeking a better life, Oscar Speck pushed his kayak into the water of the Danube and began paddling downriver. He didn't stop until he reached Australia.

Well, my wife and I were thinking we would kayak down the Columbia River next summer from the Canadian border to the Pacific. Kind of seems trivial now.

Not trivial at all. That would be a bucket list trip. Isn't that like.. 1,200 miles?

It's about 1000 miles, but it's all downhill.
