Paul I know you threw down the gauntlet and asked folks to join you in training for the Blackburn Challenge. I’ve been getting emails, phone calls, fax, smoke signals, text messages, pony express telegraphs, tweets and all other sorts of correspondence and they all want to know- How is Paul Morrison’s training going for the Blackburn Challenge? So how ’bout an update ol chap?
Good Morning Gloucester 
Paul was spotted at the Top Dog on Sunday.

109 days left so I have initiated my training regimen. Cutting back to only one martini per day. At 100 days left I am going to wax my kayak. Since the high tech materials it is made up of is 100% Clorox Bottle this takes about ten minutes.
Then the call will go out for anyone who wants to go for a paddle around Thacher Island and back to Front beach in Rockport. Since the water is 41 degrees a bit of neoprene will be necessary and possibly never venturing more than 50 feet from shore.
From that photo you posted I think I might need to also start training my hair. Cut down on the wind resistance. Or a buzz cut with a racing stripe. That will make me go faster.
Some details and I updated the GoogleMap:
