Guinness Book of World Records. They are the authority on World Records.

^^Yep. Just googled, “Guinness, Longest canoe voyage, solo” and got this. The first one is the most current record holder. It also lists a previous record holder who just died.

I also thought the Guinness Book of World Records was the authority, but their site doesn’t list everything. So I was curious about other repositories.

Guiness Book of World Records is owned by the beer company Guiness. Beer and trivia once went hand in hand. I wouldn’t trust them on everything.
