I got some more work done this weekend… The deck is now glassed on with 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass cloth and WestSystem epoxy. I glued the carbon tubes into the ama and completed the final sanding. Now, I just need to do the final filling on the ama and glass it… Also on the [...]

Kaile Kanu
I have had this idea in my head for a few years, now… A canoe for Kaile! Being short and light, Kai can’t really paddle a normal one man unless it’s dead calm out. It floats too high, and the wind blows it all over the place. She needs one that’s scaled down to fit [...]
Birthday Sail!
Ocho de Mayo was my 39th birthday, and since it was MY day, I got to do what I wanted, and what I wanted was what I always want…a day at the beach (so in actuality, it wasn’t a lot different from any other weekend). Fortunately, the weather was perfect for sailing. It was blowing [...]
Mele Kalikimaka!
Aloha, and Mele Kalikimaka! The winter solstice has passed, the days are getting longer, and 2009 is almost gone. I really wanted to get a picture of us all in the canoe for our Christmas card… Yesterday, we finally had some time where our schedules lined up, and the sun hid behind the clouds the [...]
What a Beautiful Family!
Stace and I went to the Marine Corps Ball, and Kai stayed with Aunty Rox and Uncle Shane. Shane has a relatively new camera, is REALLY GOOD at capturing awesome images, and was kind enough to come document the fact that Stace and I know how to dress up. He is quite the photog, no? [...]
Afternoon Sail
Thursday, 2 July 2009 – Join Eric, Dan, Rox and Kaile for an afternoon sail on the Holole’a. It was a beautiful day in Lanikai, and the repairs to the sailing rig worked great! While poor Stacey was stuck at 6-man practice, the rest of us hopped aboard Holole’a for a leisurely sail (leisurely for [...]
Sailing Pictures, Steering Paddles, and the Mast Step
First off, here are a couple pictures I got from Michael (He’s the guy allowing me to store the canoe in front of his house). He saw us out sailing on Sunday, and took the time to take some picutes. He even did some editing on a couple of them. I’m really excited to have [...]
The Sailing Rig Works!
There she is! Holole’a with a sail (I finished the polas, mast step, and a GIANT carbon fiber steering blade last week). It was a beautiful day and Kai and I had a great time (Stace was at an OC-6 regatta in Waimanalo)! The only problem with the rig, is that I broke it… I [...]
Kaile in the Pool
We went to to visit Nancy and Dave at their Waikiki resort on Saturday. We being Kai and me, as Stace was at canoe practice. Nanc and Dave were staying at the Waikiki Sheraton, and it has an AWESOME pool (Stace and I read about it in the papers and saw it on the news [...]
My first Movie
This was my first movie. It was originally played on Beach Walks With Rox (Beachwalks.TV), but I decided to put it on Funhogs, too (for posterity…). It is called Pau Hana, because it was filmed on a Friday following an early dismissal from work (Aloha Friday). I start with my Pueo OC-1 at Kalama Beach [...]
