Our own Paul Morrison is registered for the Blackburn Challenge number 124 in his Wilderness Systems Sealution 16” 6 Kayak with the GMG Stickers all over it. Just look for the funky spiked up gray hair- That’s out guy!
You can read about Paul’s yearlong training regimen for the Blackburn Challenge here It will be interesting to see if Paul comes back whole or if the Great White uses his Kayak for a toothpick after thoroughly enjoying Paul’s Monkeybread lined intestines for a mid-morning snack.
And then of course Saturday night the fabulous Downtown Gloucester Block Party kicks off it’s second Block Party of the summer.

Good Morning Gloucester 
You knew my boat number before I did. I thought that was a people number and I would get a real boat number at registration. I just went down behind the high school and we put more than 200 boats in that patch of grass? I’m putting my training wheels back on my kayak so I can start off from the top of the parking lot.
Monkeybread stuffed intestines. Nice. I have marinated them in a nice gin martini which I hear makes Great Whites sneeze. That will shoot me across Sandy Bay.
