The Cook Island Canoeing Association is hosting the inaugural Rarotonga 2004 Vaka Eiva from the 19th to the 26th of November 2004. Our goal is to have at least one team from our Pacific neighbours (and hopefully more) and currently include Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia and Samoa, although the event is open to clubs from around the World. Check http://www.cookislandscanoeing.com for details.

The Napali Challenge had all the right conditions, the usual early morning showers in Hanalei with everyone under the pavilion taking instructions for the race. The race was exact 8 am start and the overcast weather kept things cool. The water condition were just right for catching bumps and runners.

Today the 23rd Annual A.J. McDanold Race was held at Keauhou Bay. This event is traditionally an OC-6 long distance race, but since this year our traditional date of the first weekend following the HCRA State Championships was taken by the IVF World Sprints, it was decided to still hold the event on a Sunday, and to feature OC-1 & OC-2 canoes. The participants all received T-shirts and lunch, and top three winners in each division were presented with medals.
