The East Hawaii Challenge was held today under drizzly skies in Hilo. The race started at Richardson's Ocean park and finished at Hilo Bayfront where the Big Island Interscholastic Federation Championship race was also being held, which made for a busy day on Hilo Bay.
Mahalo to the O'Shaughnessy Family for sponsoring this first class event.

Results of today's 13th Annual Abbott Galaher SeaMan Race, for OC-1, OC-2, Surfski and Paddleboards, held at Keauhou Bay.
The original 3 and 5 mile courses, billed as I Ke Halawai - I Mua, I Hope, run straight out towards the horizon and back. Today's course was affected by a strong south-bound current as well as choppy seas, the result of yesterday's storm, and the 70 paddlers who braved the course found themselves (as well as the turnaround boats) affected by the conditions.
