5,000 MILE SOLO TRIP, MIAMI TO MIAMI 1959
Ann Davison Billheimer planning to begin a 2 month 5,000 mile trip in a 17ft boat with two 18 horsepower Evinrude engines at the Santana Marina in Coconut Grove in June of 1959.
Her plan was to cruise the inland waterway to New York, through part of the Great Lakes then down the Mississippi River and across the Gulf of Mexico. She actually departed in August and because of bad weather did not arrive back in Miami until 5 months later.

Boat Racing could use an innovating Driver with a new & unusual Victory Celebration to attract National News coverage.

I’m kinda glad that’s not prevalent in the US. I think it would take away the allure after a while and make something glamorous commonplace, ruining the attraction of it.
