no one else like seeing the waters and trees and awesomeness?????

I'm psyching myself up for a race tomorrow morning in Keauhou. Tahitian drumming gets my blood pumping! Hopefully the party I'm going to tonight will be mellow so I can get some rest for the big event. I'm still looking to proudly display a B&B Badger sticker on the nose of my hull for "sponsorship".

That looks like great fun. Haven't been to Hawaii since 91.

Third Place!

Three miles out and three miles back in relatively calm Kona water. My showing was not bad considering I had bonked last years season with a neck injury. This race was a "tester" for me to see how the neck would feel. Kona is looking pretty voggy though with the volcano going off full bore up mauka. You could barely make out the coastline from the turn around point. Over all, a good race with good people, my neck feels ok, and I am back home safe in Hilo to proudly display my winnings: A Kona Brew pub pint glass, a home made "petroglyph" coaster, and a t-shirt. ((Auwriight))!

That is kick a-- in the words of my generation. How long did it take to do the six miles? And is the three miles coming back in much faster because you can surf some of the waves?

[King of Kailua]

That is kick a--

It took about an hour +/- but I failed to get my time from the officials so I am not quite sure. The course was pretty flat (Kona usually is) so there was not much of an opportunity to catch bumps on the way in. My boat is a Polaris made by Kai Wa'a which is a little bit bigger than most of the racers out there in the field, and for me is more suited for the surf and chop you might find on the windward side of our islands. Other boats like Kai's Pegasus are better suited for calmer conditions for my size (190-200 lbs.) I wouldn't want to surf anything else but my Polaris! That new Pueo from Kamanu Composites has been on my mind lately though.
