The course for Kanaka Ikaika race #4 Sunday Feb. 21st. will start at Hawaii Kai as posted on the Calendar. It is scheduled to end at Sand Island, however, Coast Guard is threatening to NOT allow us to cross Honolulu Harbor. If the Coast Guard shuts down the passage through the shipping lane, we will have to divert the finish to Magic Island.
We had planned to shift this weeks race from Kailua Beach to Kualoa Beach Park. However, due to some issues with the DLNR, we are not able to get the water permit and therefore have to keep with the scheduled course.
Sorry we can't give everyone the Kualoa race experience with lunch from Haleiwa Joe's. The positive is that Haleiwa Joe's will step up and cater food for the Oahu Championship on March 13th. And although we wanted to break up the last few races with another windward race for variety in course, at least everyone does love the downwind courses on Oahu's south shore. The other positive is that BUD LIGHT will be at the end!
You can download your registration form at www.kanakaikaika.com to help streamline the process.
See you Sunday at Hawaii Kai for registration starting at 7:00 a.m. Race start as usual at 10:00 a.m.
