"Hale'iwa Blue"

"Desi I" came in fifth place of eighteen canoes in their division today at the "Blue Makua Long Distance Race" at beautiful Hale'iwa Beach Park.

A contingent of three NHCC cheerleaders travelled out to the North Shore to whoop it up, as Charmaine and Audra along with their tough crew paddled hard to the finish line.

Another cheerleader and myself cooled off at nearby's Aoki's Shave Ice Stand aftah' the race was pau.

Was ono-licious!

We sat in da' store so da' bees couldn't attack our cold syrupy sweet treats,

"Aloha Is..."

Aloha Is...

Surrounding a friend's ohana with love, as they deliver their beloved father, husband, brother, uncle's ashes to the sweet embrace of a favorite surfing spot off of Waikiki Beach.

Aloha Is...

Moloka'i Hoe paddlers and support crew members who will set aside a well earned day to rest and recover having paddled and travelled from Moloka'i to O'ahu.

Aloha Is...

All of the hundreds of people who make up the New Hope Canoe Club Ministry, so that HIS light might shine brightly by the things we do and not just say.

Aloha Is...

Pastor Kyle and Kay Lum, and their children Daniel and Sarah, who welcome us home each year during the Na Wahine O Ke Kai and Moloka'i Hoe so that not only might our bodies be well rested before the big race, but that true healing of the body, mind, and spirit will be rejuvenated through our paddle home, and one day to the promise land.

Aloha Is...

"REC" paddlers who form quietly on the sidelines, and wait patiently for their turn to serve and paddle our canoes home so that another might rest easy after the race and enjoy a moment in time which they are not likely to ever forget.

Aloha Is...

Escort boat drivers who brave and battle high surf en route to Hale O Lono from O'ahu, carrying our provisions, and then baking in the hot sun from Friday through Sunday. Arriving on Friday so that they get a slip which will be most accessible for our paddlers to load their gear on Sunday morning.

Aloha Is...

Bus drivers who show up on time, and fellowship with us for a short while over coffee and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and drive us safely to Hale O Lono in pitch black darkness.

Aloha Is...

Paddlers who lift each other up all season long.

Aloha Is...

Living in and amongst good people such as these, in the most beautiful of all places in the world. Hawai'i.

Congratulations on a great crossing Lono!

Not sure if the "Fat Albert Airlines" will be in the show or not, but if it is, wowie!

The "blend" of dedication and teamwork exhibited in this picture, was also on display in this past Sunday's Shell Va'a's Moloka'i Hoe Ka'iwi Channel crossing in conditions other than flat water, and smashing their own previous record-setting time from last year to boot!

Congratulations Shell Va'a, congratulations Tahiti!
