Blackburn Challenge - 2018

[eneumeier]

I am thinking of doing the Blackburn again, I did it twice, years ago, and wonder who else might be there on July 21, 2018. Liz

I would be interested in getting a group of paddlers together to train for this and other races in 2018.

Date for the Essex River Race 2018 is May 12. Date for the Blackburn is July 21.

If there's anyone out there who wants to bike and hike in addition to sea kayaking, I'm looking for adventurous types to join me for this event up in Maine. https://www.mainesummerar.com/ There's going to be a strong sea kayaking/tidal river paddling focus again in this year's race.

I plan on it again. 

If you want to get a jump on a slightly warmer latitude the Bay Bridge Paddle Race on the Chesapeake is fun and an excellent beach party at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, MD.  

Don't forget the Lighthouse to Lighthouse Race in Norwalk, CT in September.

I will not be in the US at the time of the Blackburn this year, but I'm interested in the Essex River Race. Has anyone here done it?

G’day J.B....I’ve done it twice....nice little race—5.5miles....good company, easy parking. Pizza after the race and during the award ceremony.....I have to admit that me and the wife skip out on the pizza and go directly to Woodward’s to ‘pig-out’ on lobster and beer.....hope to see you there...
