Hiro and other Tahitians,
Talk should be starting up about this race and favorites. What are they saying in Tahiti? EDT, Shell Va'a or others
If you had to bet money on the race, who would you pick?
Any new OC-6 canoe designs to be brought out for this race?

#100 Wed, 11/04/2009 - 11:29am
speaker has problems finding the guys from Team OPT...says that Raiatea is not Sahara so it should be possible to find them...
Now he found them: OPT said they went to early on the Tahaa course...they congratulate Shell but will do everything to be first tomorrow
Tomorrow's strategy: full steam ahead at the beginning...and manitain it till the end!
#101 Wed, 11/04/2009 - 11:31am
Manutea was talking about tactics.
#102 Wed, 11/04/2009 - 11:32am
Manutea said...to much "go go go!" as usual...a little bit confused...also with the drinking...
he spoke with the faahoro...but during the excitement of the race...everything is different...

#105 Wed, 11/04/2009 - 12:06pm
faahoro i think means to accelerate, hurry unless it is in reference to a person then it means to let down or cause to slip off. It could be that they are slipping off bumps or the crews are accelerating at the end, I cant understand full context
#106 Wed, 11/04/2009 - 11:40am
ok - back to work for me - good luck tomorrow oronui. I will get the final results when I land in Sydney.
