Aloha Steph & John, My Name is Michael Faaifo and am John's 1st cousin. We've never meet before but My Mother name is Eloise Faaifo and John's Mom's name is Aunty Anna they are sisters. I'm Pretty sure John knows my mom or have heard of her. If i'm not mistaken, He might have send my mom a card with my Aunty Anna's Picture. I know my aunt does remember anyone and have meet her a few times when my aunty Anna and my Uncle John would visit us in Hawaii and once after we moved to California. Well, I just wanted to pop in and say hello. Winkand Wilma emailed me and found your blog through Wilma's. Alway great to find Ohana ( Family ). Glad to see that you all are Paddling Canoe and keeping the culture alive.
Me ke aloha pumehana. ( with love and care )

Oooops I meant to say I know my aunty Anna Does NOT remember anyone. Sorry I was too excited and didn't bother reading what I typed. LOL. Also, My mom recently received a card with my Aunty Anna Picture.
I hope all is well with you and the Ohana. Take care and God Bless you and your Ohana.
In an outrigger the paddlers sit in line, facing toward the bow of the canoe (ie. forward, in the direction of travel, unlike rowing. The steerer (or steersman) sits at the very back of the canoe and as the name indicates, is primarily responsible for steering and the stroke (or stroker) sits at the very front of the boat, and is responsible for setting the pace of the paddle strokes. The first two positions may also be involved in certain steering manoeuvers.
