Since the TGI grandpa reader wanted to know, the overall winner of Na Pali Challenge Hanalei-to-Kekaha outrigger canoe race held on Aug. 1o, was the 40-NaMolokama Lawakua 87K team that did the around-the-cliffs paddle in 4 hours, 38 minutes, and 0.90 seconds, according to Webscorer.
That finish was nearly five minutes better than 39-Wailea Kaua‘i 86C team that stopped the clocks at 4:43:26.90. The Wailea team was just nine seconds faster than the third place overall team, 12-Kaiola Tere Moana 85M (they started in the Third Start as opposed to the first two winners that started in the race’s Second Start) that stopped the clocks at 4:43:35.90.
The first finishing team from the First Start belonged to 70-NaMolokama Lani Ku‘uwa‘a 87L, which crossed the finish line at 5:31.26.00, about eight minutes ahead of 19-Waikiki Yacht Club Kawehewehe 648 (5:39.34.60).
Top NaOpio Traditional team honors went to Niumalu NaOpio Prince 80C (6:03:21.80), and top NaOpio Unlimited went to 19-Waikiki Yacht Club Kawehewehe 648 (5:39:34.60).

OK, now it’s time to go check out the Food Drive Day (they also have the free car seat inspections at the Walmart store, and according to Tisha Remigio — did you see how she was the runner-up in the NAPA Ladies Night drag races on Aug. 10, same day as Na Pali Challenge? — there might be a Krispy Kreme fundraiser, too.
And then, TGI grandpa, maybe we’ll see if Ferdinand Dosono of Kaua‘i Kim Chee has settled on a Kaua‘i Kim Chee “signature dish.” Or, wait in the Midnight Bear line at the Grove Farm Market.
