The Superferry is here... if you've followed any of the controversy, you know that the superferry is very much in debate here in the islands... I have mixed feelings about it, but in the end decided to try it as a way to get me, my board, my car, and my mom to Maui.
I went to Maui to race "Maliko", and it coincidd with a workshop I taught on Teaching Science as Inquiry at the Maui Community College. 
I ended up spending a week on Maui, and I got to stay with my friend Zoe, her husband Rick, her two kids, and the chickens. My mom even came from California to get a much needed break, and we all had a blast! I was hoping to get in some good down-wind training on the famous Maliko run during the week, but it was flat-as-could-be until the day before the race. The wind, however, picked up in full-force for race day. I got to try out my new knee (literally!) and my knee paddling techniques. Still learning for sure (fell off!), but it's really like a whole new sport and I'm improving every day!
My mom's friend came to watch the race finish (my mom taught her daughters in kindergarten) after the Maui Championship paddleboard race this summer. The note from the girls "dear dolphins" is especially cute.
I'm pretty broken down from training at this point, and I'm very much looking forward to starting to rest! We race Hennessey this Saturday on Oahu's North Shore, and then the channel is the following Sunday the 27th! The wind is looking to be good for the channel, and the tide should set us up for a fast beginning and then a challenging finish. Just how I like it! :)
Here's me and the boys riding home on the Superferry the night after the race (it takes 4 hours from Maui to Oahu).
