Fun was had by all at the fourth annual Maui Turkey Day Paddle. With cloudless skies above and light winds blowing from the south, it was a beautiful day for a good workout lasting about four miles from Kamaole 1 to Sugar Beach. This race was started four years ago by a bunch of people wanting to get a good work out before they ate turkey and watched football all day. To encourage participation the winner of the race is not the fastest boat, rather the boat that comes closest to its guesstimated time.

So amazing, suprised I haven't seen this before. 17 knots is fast! Check it out, be sure to explore their site some awesome action shots. Even a short video clip of it.
