"Bentos & Chicken"

If you haven't ordered your mouth-watering 4th of July paddling bento yet, please let Larry know as soon as possible. Trust the crew when we tell you, it's broke da' mout' gud'.

For Craig in Brooklyn, a bento is a most delicious prepared-to-go meal, a meat and fish feast on a bed of hot white rice, all wrapped up neatly in a transparent plastic container. Chopsticks optional.

After the kane practice tonight, Colin reported that the deadline for huli-huli chicken monies and unsold ticket turn-in is this Saturday. The huli-huli chicken company needs a firm count, and everyone's kokua would be greatly appreciated. Ticket sales have been brisk, and the smell of huli-huli chicken on a Sunday morning after church will soon beckon for those who buy now!

A big mahalo to George and Joel for their great daylong regatta photo coverage. These snapshots in time will be cherished for years to come.

Bring your camera to Waikiki next Friday, and have someone snap a pic of you and your ohana with world famous Diamond Head as the majestic backdrop. It'll make for a great Christmas card this year.

"You Did It!"

All of you.

We just got word from Head Coach Blane Gaison, that we qualified for and have entered a record number of NHCC crews in the Walter J. MacFarlane Outrigger Canoe Club 4th of July Regatta!

To GOD be the Glory and the Honor.

Stay Safe, Stay Strong, Paddle Hard!

Congratulations!

"Waimanalo Wonderful"

I had an epiphany yesterday.

It came at the end of the Junior Men race, as our kane released their seats to our Senior Women crew.

With lightning fast NASCAR like pit crew precision, the water ballet which ensued in a challenging shoreline wave break was a thing of beauty, a moment in time to cherish and remember forever and ever.

In the sounds of the sweet and salty water ballet which unfolded, in the midst of twenty or so New Hope canoe paddlers battling to make ready the Kai 'Elua for the next race, GOD's music of life filled the air and soared high above the majestic Waimanalo wonderful ridge line in the background.

Heaven on earth.

How Great Thou Art!
