Molokai Hoe

Waiting for Daddy at the race finish. Holly loves this beach and especially running in and out of the waves!


Lots of spectators watching to see who will win the race!


The helicopter follows the race leaders, so we know that they are approaching!


The winners (AGAIN) - Shell Va'a from Tahiti. It was their 4th win in a row! They came in at 4:38:50, just 15 seconds slower than their 2008 winning time, which was a record for the fastest crossing. We'll have to see if they can make it 5 in a row in 2011. The Tahitians in general have really made huge strides in outrigger racing in the past 5 years - this year the top 4 crews were all from Tahiti!
