AUGUST FIRST 2012 - ALOHA EARL


Hanalei says goodbye to Earl Simpson

Paddlers and family gathered to say goodbye to former coach Earl Simpson with a touching ceremony under the blessing of  Kumu Puna Dawson.



Hanalei Canoe Club offered to rig a double hull for the occasion.



Ashes and flowers were taken out into the Hanalei Bay by club members and family. 
Others joined on one-mans, 6-mans, surfboards, etc. including Earl’s dog.




Aloha Earl – you were loved by many
