Peter Frank is about a quarter of the way on his planned journey of roughly 6,000 miles ( 9,656 kilometers ) to complete the Great Loop route.

The voyage is largely a way to express his gratitude for still being alive and having the ability to take on the physical challenge.

Frank : "It’s my form of showing the appreciation for being alive".

Canoeist launched his trip on June 27 in Escanaba , Michigan , where he's from.

He says he hopes to write an informational guide to fill in some gaps about the Great Loop route.

He estimates it will take roughly 17 months to finish the loop.
