Rubber Duck was bored so it was a drive into Boston to ride the Swan Boats and then off to try her hand (rubber wing) at Proteomics. But then she started thinking she might be missing too much fun back on the island …
She’s back now and Rubber Duck will be on the bow of a kayak this Saturday behind Gloucester High School waiting for the 8:25 AM horn announcing sea kayaks can start in the Blackburn Challenge. We might take the scenic route around the island so don’t expect her at the greasy pole before 2 PM and save her some cold beer. She won’t be last since I will be four feet behind her. Not sure where Ed will be. Possibly on one end of a tow rope but anyone’s guess which one of us will be doing the towing. Maybe the duck will tow both of us.
UPDATE: Blackburn Challenge has 403 sailors signed up manning some 253 boats following the course below this Saturday morning. Get to your favorite point of land on Cape Ann and cheer them on.
