"Our Newest Paddler"



Hello Everyone,
My name is Morgan Mae Chang, and I was born on May 29, 2008, at 4:11 am.

Daddy said I weighed in at 7 lbs., 9.8 oz., and measured 20 1/4 inches. He said I would be a perfect fit for seat one. What is a seat one anyway?
Oh well, I hope to see y'all on the beach very, very soon.

On behalf of my mom and dad Shannon and Harris Chang, my sister Miranda, and baby Lambchop-
Stay Strong, Stay Safe, Paddle Hard!
Aloha,

Morgan

"Protect The Aloha"


The Aloha returned to the beach last week.


It had been in the shop for repairs and a special paint design just in time for the Walter J. MacFarlane 4th of July Regatta this coming Friday.


The Aloha was badly damaged at last year's MacFarlane, repaired, and damaged again during spring practice.


For some reason, and because no two canoes are exactly the same, the Aloha is one of our very favorite open-ocean racers.


Please help to take good care of the Aloha this coming 4th. While it may be easier to slide her up and down the beach, it's like sandpaper, and the rocks will cut into the bottom of the hull. Avoid collisions, a race won is not worth the injury and/or damage to person and/or property.


Malama our canoes well, and your children's childern's children will paddle in them for years to come.


Mahalo,


-Uncle Hut
