Photos from Jake and myself from Molokai Hoe 2006, the 41 mile canoe race from Molokai to Oahu.

Photos from the Queen Lili'uokalani Race . The race is held in Kona and is the largest race in the world. There were over 120 entries for both men and women.

Duke Kahanamoku canoe race photos. These are shots of the open crew. Full results are availible at HawaiianH20.com. Looks like the masters crew was 7/10 (34th overall) and the open crew was 11.5 minutes behind and 45th overall.




Videos at YouTube.com. YouTube's quality is pretty low though.

Photos from a trip up to the source of the Waiakeakua Stream in the back of Manoa valley (7 bridges / Queen's Ponds hike). This water was considered sacred, but now is watershed for honolulu. A while back, the board of water supply bought the land to preserve as watershed, allowing the remaining farmers to stay until their death. When the farmers either die or give up, the houses are abandoned to be taken over by the forest.

If you are interested in hawaiian mythology, there is a lot of cool
folklore about Waiakeakua.

After attending the IGARSS conference I spent three and a half days in Rocky Mountain National Park. My photos are here.
