A special note of accomplishment should be recognized that club member Jon Kilroy, after paddling over 500 miles of big seas in the Western Coast of Vancouver Island, boarded a plane last Friday night landing in Boston Saturday morning after thunderstorm delays. With only a couple hours of sleep and barely making it to the start of the race, Jon finished 3d in the Sea Kayak division of The Blackburn Challenge.
Way to go Jon. They say nobody ever remembers who came in second. This club will remember who came in third.
