The idea for a boat race across the Pacific is credited to King Kalakaua, although it did not begin during his lifetime. Thank you for the kind words!

It was possible to see them docked at the Ala Wai small boat harbor for the time they are here. It was pretty interesting to think they came clear across the Pacific Ocean on those (fairly) small boats. I saw media coverage when the Alfa Romeo arrived (it was first and broke a record) but not too much press otherwise.

Then again, I rarely drink, am allergic to a lot of nature, get sea sick, and can barely dog paddle....LOL. But HAPPY I can do. Sounds like you had a great time.

I missed the action being way out here on the leeward side. Maybe I'll get a chance to check out the Pacific Cup next summer. Wow, that sounds like so much fun.
