TGIM

Thank God it's Monday! Some say TGIF, I say TGIM! Mondays are less crowded in the lineup and I like that. Today looks like more summer swells around 1-3 ft and dropping winter swell 2-3 ft up north so lots to choose from. Been super busy week again with perfect weather in Hawaii. Red Sea boat made it home so now its time to start phase 2 of 3 of the work, which is to power it up. Have a good week everyone!

Remember Japan

Today marks the one year anniversary of the tragic tsunami that hit Japan. I remember being in the water in Palau as our guides frantically screamed to get out of the water as their was a tsunami coming. We rushed back to the harbor and turned on the CNN news and stood in shock to see the devastation. One of my friends, Kirby Fukunaga was hit the hardest but on this day it changed his life. He has now been on 5 mission trips to Japan to help the victims and about to head on Mission 6 in April. One year later, the clean up continues and many untold stories still remain with many unanswered questions. People have resumed their daily life with radiation around them. Foods are contaminated in certain areas and it's not clear on the safety of travel to certain parts of Japan. Lets remember Japan and see how you can help.

A few good men!

The next step in building a boat is to build a trailer. There are a few companies to choose from when building a trailer. Some choose spectrum trailers, e-z loaders, pacific trailer, and some even make their own from scratch. After doing my research I decided to go with ABtrailers. The material is sent in a few boxes so I just needed a few good men who could help me assemble.

My uncle Herman Takimoto (middle) enlisted his friends Tommy Sonomura (right) and Roy Matsumoto (left) along with my dad and they got the job done! It was amazing to see these men in action. Just give them a wrench, screw driver, and they knew what to do. Thanks guys for all your help!

Jim Patterson from Force Marine (left) and Alex Whitaker from ABtrailers (right) are two very important leaders in the boating industry. Cutting edge designs, quality workmanship, at a reasonable cost is what sets them above the rest. Me (middle) is just enjoying the ride! ha ha!
