Beautiful Fall Day
It was an absolutely beautiful fall day today here on Maui. The trades were forecast to blow in the 15 - 20 range so I bailed on work and headed to Kanaha early. Kanaha was gorgeous - sunny, clear blue sky, a few puffy clouds hitting the West Maui Mountains, hardly any clouds out on the northern horizon, a moderate breeze out of the east northeast. 5.8 and big board were the call today and once I got out to the wind line it was perfect. Hard to believe 5.8 could feel so good, but after a week of non-sailing I guess we're all getting desparate here.
The wind stayed a steady 20 or so most of the day until late in the afternoon when it got gustier and then the 5.8 was too much on the outside. Not much in the wave department today until late, but it was still good fun just blasting around.
News on the Aloha Classic - according to the Maui News reporting about yesterday's events,
"Conservation and resource enforcement officers from the Department of Land and Natural Resources informed officials at 12:15 p.m. that they did not have the correct insurance.
The competition was halted for the rest of the day. "
’’We did not have insurance that covered the state,’’ event organizer Pietro Porcella said. ’’We just had to extend our coverage to cover the state. We did not know we had to do that. We had all the permits from the county. But, everything has been resolved and we are on for tomorrow.’’

So apparently the competition resumed today. No idea about the outcomes - I'd rather sail than watch other people sail. Will report what I hear tomorrow.
