Blackburn Challenge

This weekend was the Blackburn Challenge. Early this morning I watched almost every kind of boat that could be rowed or paddled move along the coast from the Annisquam River toward Halibut point. It was a glorious day, just stunning--moderate temperature, almost no wind, and flat seas. Registration information can be found here.

Twenty miles is a long way to go, and conditions can change pretty dramatically throughout the race. Last year the race started, but was cut short due to fog, but it was a beautiful day this year.
