Todays race was run under overcast skies with light variable winds. There was a sizable wind swell, but the less than favorable current making for challenging conditions. The race was run in memory of Boogie Kalama who recently passed. Mahalo to Afa and Bev Tuaolo and the Kama`ili Nursery crew for a great day.
