13th Abbott Galaher SeaMan Race
12/11/2010
Results of today's 13th Annual Abbott Galaher SeaMan Race, for OC-1, OC-2, Surfski and Paddleboards, held at Keauhou Bay.
The original 3 and 5 mile courses, billed as I Ke Halawai - I Mua, I Hope, run straight out towards the horizon and back. Today's course was affected by a strong south-bound current as well as choppy seas, the result of yesterday's storm, and the 70 paddlers who braved the course found themselves (as well as the turnaround boats) affected by the conditions.
First-time Race Director, Kevin McClure, did an outstanding job of organizing the event, as did the water officials, Jan War and Karen Hamar, who were able "think on their feet" and to adjust to the slightly altered route.
The traditional chili-rice and salad lunch, prepared by chefs Terry and Egon, was enjoyed by all, and HIPA prizes were awarded to the top 3 finishers in each division.
