Long Distance Rower

Long distance rower Philly Joe passing through Rhode Island.

Philly Joe is on a canoe trip.  His plan is to circumnavigate the contiguous 48 states and most of Mexico.

So far his trip has taken him from Texas, along the gulf coast, around the Florida keys, and up the east coast into Maine for a total of over 6,000 miles.  Most of this was done in the Intercoastal Waterway.  He plans to continue across Canada, touching on Alaska, down the west coast, through the Panama Canal, then back north to Texas.  When he is done, he will have traveled over 24,000 miles. 

Joe has selected the FrontRower as his propulsion system.  The above picture was taken the summer of 2006 as he passed through Rhode Island.
