First Practice at the Keauhou Canoe Club

Pictures taken from our first day of practice at the Keauhou Canoe Club.  Three of the canoes had just returned from a race on the windward coast and had to be re-rigged using the traditional rope rigging fashion.   Dave Schweter and Lyse Bugeaud watching the rigging process intently.
