Up the Canal and Back Down Again.



Eventually you reach the Bora Bora of your goals. That would be as near to an unofficial motto as any. The team .... ♪♪ Some of us will grow up to be lawyers and kings, and some of us will end up in Sing Sing ♪♪. I'm not quite sure I have the lyrics right. No, no google. People sue Google for giving them carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been watching kids canoe practicing for decades on our city's glorious Ala Wai canal world renowned for it's sparkling waters rich in natural and vital nutrients. A glassful will make you glow at night for weeks. By the same token, ever seen a healthy looking health food freak. The majority of these young paddlers will never ever be fast enough to make the elite racing teams, but on a daily basis they inspire residents and pedestrians alike to get up off their fat okoles and undertake some of form of exercise of their own.

Natural and vital nutrients.... riiiight...

Also flesh eating disease... etc. Tsk. Do those paddlers know what risk they take if they capsize?

Kay- yes, it's the biggest kept secret in the islands, aside from the salmon run in June.
