It's time again to host my regular spring chop on lovely Hodaddy Lagoon in front of my house, but just as I was about to post the event notice, my friend Terri from San Diego's Hanohano Outrigger Canoe Club asked if Freaky Boutiki would reprise last year's carving exhibition at this year's 30th Annual Crystal Pier Race. The Crystal Pier Race is one of the largest of it's kind on the West Coast and 1,250 paddlers and spectators are expected to attend. The HanoHano Outrigger Canoe Club is a non-profit organization that has been a part of Mission Bay's cultue since 1981. Each year members ranging in age from 10 to 70 compete as youth and adult teams in Hawaiian outrigger races up and down the California coast. As a club they strive to share the traditions, culture and Aloha Spirit of this competitive sport with the community. http://www.hanohano.com/ So, I have decided to shift the location of my usual spring chop to the site of the race: North Ski Beach Park, the East side of Ingraham Driveon Vacation Isle, in the center of Mission Bay. Take I- 5 Freeway Exit Sea World Drive and go west. Pass Sea World and take Ingraham St. exit on your right. Get in middle lane (that is two lanes over to the left) heading north. Go to second, stoplight, Vacation Road, and turn right. Then take the immediate left to the north end of the island. NO DOGS, NO GLASS, NO SMOKING, NO ALCOHOL, NO CHAINSAWS. YES BURROS, YES CHISELS, YES DROPCLOTHS, YES E-Z UPS. Set up should take place between 7 & 8 AM. Parking is free, and additional spaces are available across the street from the race site (turn left on Vacation Road and follow signs to either the North Cove or to Youth Camp). Please be aware that cars WILL BE TICKETED if parked in pull-through trailer parking spots in the trailer parking lot at the south end of the island.

Aloha Friends.
