What a fun trip! Liz timed the trip so that we were paddling out as the racers were coming in. It was a kick to see the racers, with their variety of vessels and techniques. We stopped for lunch near Brace Rock (Liz pointed out that this is only possible when the ocean is reasonably calm) We walked through the slippery seaweed to get to the top of Brace Rock (you can see us there in the group photo that "pocky" posted). Note: we stopped on Ten Pound Island, (not Star Island).
Thanks to Liz for leading this. It was a great experience. For those of you who missed out, the Blackburn Challenge is an annual event, so perhaps we can do a similar event next year.
