It will be run much like it was this year in the relay format with changes done at each beach. 34 miles total. And let's not forget the cash prizes! Further information and the official website will be posted on OCPaddler at a later date.

[June 10, 2003 Press Release]

I am sure word is getting out but I just wanted to let people know that Uncle Bob of Hui O Hawaii of Sacramento (husband of Marilyn Steele, president of the NCOCA) passed away quietly on Thursday, September 18, 2003.



I have created a small memorial page at: outriggercanoe.com



If you have a cherished photo you would like to see posted there, I will be more than happy to do so. Email it to me. My email address is on the website.



Take care and paddle safe.
