Nick’s Fishmarket Maui Championship
Filed in
Weather let us down for the first time all season. Even setting the buoys was tricky. Our water official Mary Keilty had to do a rescue of a visitor while setting the finish buoy. Those nasty on-shore winds and head current made for tough slugging. Fortunately, Steinlager helped us nurse our wounds as we “re-hydrated†after the race.
Megan Quale made headlines as not just the first woman across the line, but the first person across the line. She beat out Jacob Abeytia by seconds to win first overall. The OC-2’s finished in a tight pack, well ahead of the OC-1s. It was obvious the extra engine on the OC-2 was key, as the conditions required extra juice. Did we mention the weather was lousy?
Several paddlers reported seeing a small pod of spinner dolphin about 1 mile from the finish line. Right afterwards, the best surf of the whole day could be had as the paddlers rounded Makena point. Man, that 50 yards was really something.
The dubious honor of worst choice of craft went to Jennifer Konohia as the lone stand-up paddler, and our out-going Treasurer, Don Mehling, who poorly chose a rudderless canoe. Neither looked particularly happy as they crossed the finish line, but finish they did. Don said “Oh, that cross-swell was a real treat. Can I do it again? No? Good!â€
Before awards were distributed, MCKC voted for and instated a new Board of Directors. Newly elected Directors include: Brandis Sarich, Svar Hartman, Tom Guerin, Michael Roark, Carla Fadriquela, and Deb Robison. Thanks to our out-going Directors for a job well done. It’s been a great season and we look forward to the new energy and ideas from our newest members.
Aaron Placourakis and Nick’s Fishmarket provided some killer chicken and fish tacos for sustenance as we distributed awards. Everyone loved the tacos and beer. As an added bonus, the County Parks and Recreation Department did a wonderful job rejuvenating Makena Landing and Park with grass, landscaping, and a fresh coat of paint. Does it get better than this? If so, we can’t wait to find out how.
Our next race is three (3) weeks away and is the amazing Keanae – Kahului surf-fest (hopefully). Don’t miss that race as we are expecting the best field of the year. We will have two registration points, one at Maliko Gulch and one at Keanae Peninsula. Hope to see you there!
Happy paddling,
Your MCKC Board
