My last sunset in Hawaii on this trip. I take a walk on the beach in Front of the Outrigger Canoe Club and the Elks Club and read again from the Journal Of Tommy Thompson. He wrote about his friendship with Duke Kahanamoku.
Duke swam in the 1912, ‘20, ‘24 Olympics and was an water polo alternate in 1932. He won 3 Golds 2 silvers and the Bronze on the water polo team. The games in 1916 were canceled due to WW1 otherwise he might have won more. I read some first hand accounts. Show time about 10min

Ella sells baskets and plays the Uke at the sametime. She has been playing since she was 5 years old from Maui. The song she strums. Is Koke’e a song composed by Dennis Kamakahi in 1979 for Koke’e, the lush forested heights above Waimea and Kekaha, overlooking the valleys of the Na-Pali coast.

Lyrics to sing to:
Upu a’e he mana’o I ka wekiu o koke’e I ka nani o ka aina O ka noe po-ai’ai.
(Hui) O Kalalau he aina la’a I ka ua li’ili’I O Waimea ku lei Aloha Never More to say goodbye.
E hoi’I mai ana I ka hikina I ka la welawela I ke kai hawanawana I Poipu Ma Koloa
(Hui) O Kalalau he aina la’a I ka ua li’ili’I O Waimea ku lei Aloha Never More to say goodbye.
Mele au no ka beauty I ka uka iu’iu I Koke’e ua ‘ike au I ka noe poai’ai.
(Hui) O Kalalau he aina la’a I ka ua li’ili’I O Waimea ku lei Aloha Never More to say goodbye.
