A.J. McDanold Long Distance - Big Island
Keauhou Canoe Club hosted the 24th Annual A.J. McDanold Long Distance race yesterday. Crews from clubs from every corner of the island congregated in Keauhou Bay to participate.
Women’s crews and mixed crews raced an eight mile course from Keauhou Bay to Casa De Emdeko and back. The men’s crews raced a ten-mile course from Keauhou Bay to the Coast Guard buoy in Kailua Bay and back.
Conditions were calm and hot with a small south-west swell that gave some help on the first half of the course. The highlights of the short course race were provided by two crews from Waikoloa Canoe Club, who, after paddling for over an hour, raced to the finish line within one second of each other. In the long course race the first four crews battled the entire way and provided an exciting finish with all completing the course within one minute of each other.
Many crews were using this race as part of their preparation for the Queen Liliuokalani race three weeks from now.
