Auger, Kjeldsen undefeated in Kaua'i Race 3
Light easterly winds and small chop made for fast, smooth racing conditions on Sunday January 29. In a course, which was supposedly longer than the last Port Allen venue on January 8, (although the long course did have a bit of a “running†start), times were consistently faster for the majority. Once again Noe Auger and Maui Kjeldsen clearly gapped the long course division. Gregg Davis has consistently dominated the men’s short course and a new face in the women’s division; Lilinoe Forrest garnered the short course title.
Highlights for the day were new faces and the return of some old familiar icons. We hope to see you all as well as more youth paddlers for the rest of this season.
As usual we have many to thank for helping out. Poipu Beach Broiler generously supplied our wonderful lunch and Budweiser provided the refreshments.
Thanks also to those tireless gals at registration and whom also helped with the timing. In spite of some mysterious numbers and unregistered boats, they managed to pull it off with no complaints. In the future, let’s all help them out by clarifying what our numbers are and what boats we are on.
Thanks also to Marshall MacCready for sacrificing his race and loaning out his fully rigged canoe so he could fill in as an escort for the long course when the original escort got called in to HFD.
On the racecourse, Skip Forrest stopped to render assistance to another paddler whose cable had broken. This is what it’s all about gang… safety first, then fun, and then lastly competition. Way to go Skip!
Our next race will be on February 12 at 12:00. Long course is from Port Allen to Wahiawa Bay to Waimea. Short course is from Port Allen to Waimea. Registration will be from 10:00 – 11:00 at Port Allen. Call 635-0388 for race updates. ResortQuest/ Waimea Brew Pub and Budweiser will be providing food and refreshments following the race.
