I had the opportunity to go sailing on My cousin Steve “Looper” Villager’s boat Hoku’ula on the North Shore of Oahu last summer with his brother Scott. I thought it would be a great idea to dedicate the sail to our late Uncle Sam who passed away a few a couple years ago. Uncle Sam was an avid sailor and racer since the mid 70’s on Lake Erie sailing a 30′ Tartan. I regret never having sailed with him but spent some real great quality time with him in 2004 sharing sailing stories and basketball, his other great love. ;
The trade winds were kick ass this day, so I quickly had to abandon my Sony DV camera after it got soaked with a wave. Backup waterproof Sanyo Xacti E1 proved to be worth every penny I paid for it.

This was my favorite photo posted by Leighton O’Connor http://twitter.com/leightonoc on my Twitter feed on his recent trip to San Juan for some Vela Cup ocean racing. Give him a follow as he’s posting some great pics.

Big shoutout to Andrew Zaldivar, son of my longtime friend Manny who’s off to the Air Force Academy next month. Before he goes though Andrew decided to donate his 2 foot locks of hair to “Locks of Love”, a charity for children with hair loss due to medical issues. Great job Andrew on the money raised and the awareness.
I’m heading to my time share in Aruba next month and it happens to coincide with Aruba Hi Winds tournament. Looking forward to pounding some Bishiri beers on the beach and watching some kitesailing competion.

Got a quick interview with one of The Residents eyeball after their Talking Light show at World Cafe Live. During the show, Mr Skull, who is now an old man/woman told the SRO crowd that Carlos, of the four members of the band had gone to Mexico. There were only three Residents on stage, but I did catch the green eyeball roaming around the crowd afterwards.

The boat is on the “hard” as they say. Another day of working her, but first some much needed coffee.
I’ve been so busy with the worst winter of snow and work the last 3 months that it seems I’ve neglected to edit and post much of the footage of our trip to Hawaii last summer. This is a quick little piece that I did on Flatbread Company a great spot in Paia Maui that makes organic pizza in some type of volcanic oven. HAVING A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX LOADING PICTURE
