One of my best friends has recently moved to the Big Island, so I am taking note.

Big Island Sailing in Double-Hulled Canoe
I had the extraordinary good fortune to sail in a Hawaiian double-hulled canoe recently, off the Kona Coast (of Hawai'i moku -- the "Big Island.") Captain Kiko Johnston-Kitazawa built this canoe himself using two existing single outrigger canoes as a base and connecting them to create a replica of a traditional Hawaiian canoe. He was a wonderful guide to the culture as well as to the waters. There is nothing like sailing (and paddling) in one of these beautiful vessels, and I was filled with great happiness while we were out on the water. We sailed past the terrible battleground of Kuamo'o, and eventually anchored in a small cove for swimming. Delightful! On the business side, Captain Kiko was prompt, reasonably priced, and very flexible in his arrangements with us. His wife Margaret also joined us, and it was great to talk story with them both, as well as the other two visitors. I highly recommend this "family operation" -- instead of the more corporate "adventures" advertised in Hawai'i. Contact Captain Kiko at (808)938-5717 or Kiko JK@aol.com.
