What a way to start off the East Coast Outrigger Racing Association OC-1/2 season!
Gray over hanging clouds and cool showers threatened early and then the sun busted a move to melt away the long winter.
The crew from Washington Canoe Club did it right. They put on a great race and provided some good post-race beer and grinds.
Many Mahalos to Mitch, Amy Potter and the rest of the WCC paddlers, for taking such good care of us.

After a month of monsoon rains, flooding, and bacteria laced muddy run-off, the paddlers of YMCA Kauai Hoe Wa’a were happy to toss raincoats aside to participate in the 7th race of our season on Sunday, April 9. Both short and long course divisions started at Kalapaki and headed to Poipu. Finishes were held at Poipu Beach Park and Kukuiula Harbor for the short and long course respectively.
