  2. Marty, this is really a fine video, a good remembrance of the day. Thanks for making it! It was great to see you, and many thanks also for giving me the chance to voice my love of Cape Ann and the race.

  3. Thanks for making and posting the video, Marty, it is wonderful – I just showed it to my wife, so she could see what it was like – you captured it so well! You took a photo of me and my son Eric on the “Thomas E Lannon” that afternoon. Nice to meet you.

    1. Thank you all for your kind comments.
      Chuck, that was Manny (not Marty) who took that wonderful photo of you and your son on the Lannon. In any event, be careful. In 2009 I visited Gloucester with my grown son. Two months later my wife and I bought a home in West Gloucester and shortly after that we became permanent Gloucesterites. This place does things like that to perfectly sane people.

  5. Marty, you have filmed and edited another amazing Blackburn Challenge video! Last year you captured our four-person outrigger canoe on film and inspired me to put GoPros on that same canoe for this year’s Blackburn. We made a film from the boat’s point of view, but yours is even more amazing. Please keep doing what you do!
