Koa wood is beautiful!
Outrigger canoes first arrived in Hawaii around 200 AD, some large enough to hold up to 80 people, and were filled with essential items like edible plants, water and animals to ensure a somewhat safer voyage for the brave explorers who took off in search of land. By following the migration patterns of birds seen flying overhead, explorers soon discovered the Hawaiian Islands.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The harsh terrain of the land, including jagged volcanic lava rock, steep cliffs, howling wind and waves, made it very difficult to transport anything, so outrigger canoes became a necessity for tasks like fishing and transporting goods and people. When native Hawaiians found giant Koa trees on the Big Island, they soon discovered they could build an entire canoe hull from a single piece of wood. While the outrigger canoe has gone through many phases over the last 2,000 years, Hawaiian outrigger canoes specifically remain built for battling conditions in the open ocean and are recognized for their unique shape, design and lack of extra ornamentation or decoration.

Since setting out on the ocean was still a very dangerous and risky task, building a new canoe involved the work and dedication of many people as well as frequent cultural and traditional practices. First, a kahuna, or Hawaiian priest, had to search for the perfect site and tree by following the ‘elepaio, or Hawaiian forest bird, into the forest. Since the ‘elepaio was attracted to rotting Koa wood, if the bird began pecking at the tree, that meant the wood was not solid and the tree would be useless for the strong structure it took to build a canoe. Once finding the perfect tree, the kahuna would then gather the canoe builders and workers, staying throughout the building process to offer prayers and blessings.

Per County of Maui

Months ahead of the original January 2025 deadline, debris has been cleared from 100 percent of 1,390 residential properties in the Lahaina Impact Zone.

The last few residential properties, including The Spinnaker apartment complex, were cleared at the end of August, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“Thatʻs a huge, huge milestone and accomplishment,” said Lt. Col. Collin Jones, Hawaiʻi Wildfires Recovery Field Office commander for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, at the County of Maui Disaster Recovery
Community Update Meeting on Aug. 28.

A year ago, it was anticipated that it might take two to three years before rebuilding started in Lahaina.

Now, 1,342 of 1,390 cleared residential lots also completed so rights of entry have been returned to the county and those property owners can apply for building permits. Rebuilding has started on 20 properties.

“With each lot cleared and new foundation poured, a sense of hope is gaining momentum throughout Lahaina town,” said Mayor Richard Bissen. “The progress has happened more quickly than we thought. We’re thankful for the crucial and expedited work done by our federal partners, along with our hardworking County crews, so our residents can begin to rebuild their homes and lives.”

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has assigned the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to oversee debris removal in coordination with the Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and County of Maui.

Work to clear debris is continuing on 68 commercial properties in Lahaina.

We find out, in a few months, whether or not we get our unit back in January!
As most of you know-our unit is being rented long term to a displaced family. They are in a lease through the end of the year, with an option to renew for 6 months and then an additional 6 months.
While we miss our spot tremendously, we are grateful for the opportunity to offer a safe space for a family in need.

Maui gold is one of the best pineapples you will ever taste.
But why waste the peel, core and crown? Make Pineapple TEA!!
This liquid gold has some pretty powerful health benefits.
