"Just When You Thought You've Seen It All..."
For as long as I have known New Hope Canoe Club Head Coach Blane Gaison (former Atlanta Star QB, go Falcons!), I have never seen him eat anything remotely resembling junk food.
The man eats rabbit food out of see through plastic containers from home for goodness sake!
I was dumbfounded when I saw him holding a bowl of strawberry short cake, topped with a 3 to 5 second burst of whipped cream!
Take a deep breath sports fans, strawberries are good for you.
Blane's only comment when I asked him if I could photo document this rare event for all perpetuity was "I'm really hungry, I'm going to eat this."
In all fairness to Blane, he did try to stop a paddler from putting more whipped cream atop his already generous sugary white mountain of mouth watering sugar right after I took the above pic. Steely determination personified.
There is a kicker to all of this my friends.
Coach Blane paddled in the second to the last race of the day, the sun had come out, dried up all he rain, and his 40 Mix crew paddled out and to an incredible second place finish, the best finish we've had all season long. It also moved our club up a notch in the day's final tally.
Strawberry Short Cake & Whipped Cream = Best Finish This Whole Regatta Season
Coincidence?
I think not!
Give who ever brought that delightful dessert and whipped cream a Beijing Bling of a gold medal!

P.S. Did you hear about the paddler parking lot monitors who caught a perp in the parking lot with bad intentions? They alerted the HPD special duty police officer nearby, and the dude was promptly taken into custody on outstanding warrants. Let's keep this gentleman in our prayers, that he might come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was a "Winnie The Pooh" kind of day, with a little bit of huny added in for good measure.
You'll not want to miss a great sequel when our NHCC qualifying crews compete against the best of the best from around the state at the grand finale on Saturday (HCRA State Championship Races), August 2nd, at Ke'ehi Lagoon!
"Congratulations NHCC Novice B Wahine & Novice A Kane!"
It's rainy and windy here today at the O'ahu Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association Championship Races at Ke'ehi Lagoon.
But the action is still great!
Congratulations to our Novice B Wahine and our Novice A Kane who have steadily gotten better and stronger with each passing regatta. Both crews came in 4th place today, for two big points in the AA Division.
More later!
