Video- 2011 Blackburn Challenge Filmed By Ed Collard
Ed uses the Kodak zx3 and Kayalu Salt Waterproof Camera Mount to capture the Blackburn Challenge
The Kodak zx-3 and kayalu salt waterproof camera mount performed perfectly, especially when you consider Ed all thumbs and no eyes Collard was the operator.
I would say you have to give Ed some props for improved camerawork. Nice slow steady pans and no ground shots, Ed is definitely improving with his camera work!
we will be bringing you more creative footage with the waterproof camera and mount in the coming weeks.
if anyone is interested in the gear you can buy them on Amazon here

We will be tracking Ed, Rubber Duckie and Paul Morison via satellite. if you click on the screenshot of the map you will see exactly where they are on the race course as they circumnavigate Cape Ann.
The screenshot below was taken at 6:08 when they boys arrived at the starting line at Gloucester High School. If you click the picture it will show you a refreshed map of exactly where they are as the day progresses.
Ed Collard talking pretty confidently in his interview here but I think we all know he is secretly hoping for the race to be called early due to heat, LOL! I will say this-
If Ed Collard does indeed complete the Blackburn Challenge after only 5 times being in a Kayak I’ll be convinced he can do anything.

Voyeurism 101- “Art, Rocks!” The Movie- One Of The Top 5 Funniest Movies We’ve Ever Done
There are about 5 spots in here where I just bust out laughing.
The video just continues to ramp up and ramp up and ramp up in intensity right through the end. We were absolutely rolling in the office by the 10 minute 30 second mark and then it just goes into overdrive.

Paul Morrison Trying To Fatten Me Up
Everyone should wish our boy Paul Morrison well after he went in for nose surgery yesterday. Let’s hope they don’t make his nose like Victoria Beckham’s pencil thin nose. We might not recognize him without his distinguishing honker.

Spring is Here! Time to Get Out of the House
A little of that Cape Ann winter hibernation thing is still going on around here (especially on cold, rainy days like today), but tomorrow you’ll have the chance to shake off that favorite blanket you’ve had draped over you for the last three months, get off your couch, and step outside into actual Spring sunshine. Come on down to the Community House in Rockport where we’re serving Twin Lights Soda, Coffee, Cupcakes and giving you the opportunity to take a photo with Motif No. 1 itself! There’ll be some dancing magic too, and if you’re lucky, maybe some GMG contributors will even show up to shake a leg. Rumor has it that no one cuts a rug like Paul Morrison, the smoothest scientist in Rockport. Admission is a Pay-What-You-Can donation, with all proceeds going to support programming for Motif No. 1 Day & Rockport’s HarvestFest. Check out www.rockportartfestivals.com for more info and we hope to see all of our friends and neighbors there for a real Community bash!

Gloucester Lobster Trap Tree ’10 -The Beginning
Featuring the 9:00AM Crew- David and Daniel Brooks, Paul Morrison, Shane and his brother The Emo kid, Scotty Horne, Ed Collard, Donna Ardizzoni and Rick Moore.
If you have any time at all today they could surely use a hand constructing the Lobster Trap tree. If you are not able to physically help maybe you could drop off some warm cider or hot coffee. It is cold as a motherfu$%er up there at Gloucester Police Station Pavillion.
We will be taping for The Learning Channel as well so come on down and be part of the fun.
Donna Ardizzoni is down there lugging traps that are bigger than her. That woman is crazy I’m telling you!
Also if there are any lobstermen that have any lobster traps that they can contribute to the tree please swing down. David and company will pick them up and drop them back off in your yard when the tree is dismantled.
