SATURDAY TRAINING SESSION: AUGUST 30, 2014 - 12 Noon

The Hui had a late Friday night and therefore we will start today's training after 12 Noon.  We are having a potluck lunch to begin the training and will be at the marina till the evening (sometime around 6pm) weather permitting.  If you have any questions, call Ben at 801-721-7026.  If I don't answer or return your call within 20 minutes, we are probably still on the lake somewhere.

Mahalo!!

FRIDAY NIGHT WA'A CHAT & POT LUCK DINNER: AUGUST 29, 2014

Hui Paoakalani will host a Friday Night Wa'a Chat this weekend for all interested parties and the general public.  The Hui will be at the Great Salt Lake Marina on Friday to rig the Kailana Kaleo with her new sailing configuration (amas, iakos, mast, spar, boom and sail).  Later on Friday evening, we will have a Pot Luck dinner and will host Mr. Mark Ellis (Tammy Medeiros' Brother) who is a member of the Hokulea crew.  Mark will share his sailing knowledge and experiences with the Hokulea.  The Hokulea is currently on its Malama Honua Worldwide Voyage and is in Pago Pago, American Samoa where a new crew arrived on Monday, August 25, 2014 to prepare for the next leg of its worldwide voyage.

NO SATURDAY PADDLE: AUGUST 30, 2014

The Hui will not have a general public paddle for this coming weekend.  Instead, we will have a work and training day at the Great Salt Lake Marina as we prepare the Kaleo to enter the waters of the Great Salt Lake.  All Hui members and friends are welcome to assist on this project.  Also, we have tentatively scheduled Friday afternoon for loading and hauling Kailana Kaleo back to the GSL Marina.  Please check back on this blog on Thursday evening or Friday morning for confirmation.  If you have any questions, please call Ben Au at 801-721-7026.

Mahalo!!
