Aloha Classic

The buzz on the beach here on Maui today is the Aloha Classic. I'm piecing this together from various reports, but apparently the organizers failed to secure the proper permits from the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. Word has it that DLNR pulled the plug on the competition. I believe they got off some heats yesterday and today, but the wind was light today and died throughout the day and it was even lighter yesterday. I think only the kids division was able to compete yesterday.

As for us non-competitors, wind at Kanaha was a barely do-able 5.8 for me for about a half hour mid-day then it started dropping. But, despite a short-lived session it felt good to get on the water after more than a week without sailing. Tomorrow we're supposed to get trades for one day then back to light and variable conditions.
