Steve Yost Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 None listed here: http://www.neckra.org/races/schedule. I notice it doesn't include the Essex River race, the Head of the Weir, or the Misery Challenge (new this year, in Manchester by the Sea), though they do include the Blackburn. So I'm looking for a more comprehensive site that includes mixed-boat races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leong Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hey Steve,It's been a while since our Blackburn training run. I've been mostly out of the picture for the last year and a half because of medical problems. But I'm back to training in the cockpit now.I don't think there are any local kayak/surfski races after the Glicker Downwinder that was Oct 10. See this and this and that.On the other hand, if you want to drive south for about 27 hours to Singer Island, FL, we have a weekly informal 8-mile training race. No prizes, just teasing the winner.Best.-LeonPSThanks for the heads-up about the new Misery Island race. I was unaware of its existence. Up until about 10 years ago Henry Szostek (of Blackburn Challenge fame) used to run a different Misery Island race starting from Misery and out somewhere past Bowditch Ledge and back to Misery. I won it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
