The Hawaii Canoe Racing Association held it's Waikiki Regatta today. I went to take pictures and to give moral support to my friend Phuong.

That's Phuong on the left and Rhea on the right.


This was a very interesting sand sculpture.

Hectors team paddled a pretty good race.

This is what Waikiki Beach looked like today.


That's Hector with the yellow baseball cap.

Rudy has his back towards us.

The moon snuck out early today.



On the way over to view the canoe regatta I saw these beach volley ball games and stopped for a while to snap some pictures.







Woke up early this morning for a photography hike up Kamehame Ridge with the Sierra Club. The hike was cut short when we were pointedly reminded that we were on private property and our presence was unwanted.

But that's okay as we went to Jack's in Aina Haina and had breakfast...if you haven't eaten there you've got to try it. We waited for about half an hour to get a table. Luckily we ran into CD's cousin "Cookie" who entertained and delighted us with her charming conversation.

The form on the horizon is the island of Molokai. On reasonably clear days it's we're able to see across the channel.

This is the back side of Koko Head.
