Getting your ski to Molokai
Some escort boats are willing to take skis; some are unsuitable for this or the skippers don't want to take the risk of damaging skis. Find out from your skipper ahead of time!

Some of the estate agents do bookings by phone only and consensus seems to be that this is easier to organize once you're in Honolulu.

Current Conditions in Hawaii
South Africans Ian Gray and Steve Woods have been in Hawaii for some time. They took part in the Maui to Molokai race this last weekend (Steve won; Zsolt Szadovszki came 2nd; Ian 3rd). They then joined the OC-1 paddlers in their race from Molokai to Oahu.
Steve is writing us a story about their adventures, but here's what they had to say:
- Ian Gray: "What an amazing time! This place is just the business!!"
- Steve Woods: "This place is insane! Going downwind quick then will send thru an update, got some classic pics!"
It sounds as though they're enjoying themselves...!
Stay tuned for more...
