May 8, 2008
Tom Pohaku Stone and Darrick Doerner representing Kanalu K38 and the American Watercraft Association H2O Responders (AWA), have left the island of Oahu this morning at 7:30am to transit across the channel to Kaunakakai Harbor to attend the DLNR meeting.
Preparations began two days ago when the notice was issued for the public meeting regarding personal watercraft.Many people are not able on such a short notice to attend due to work schedule and financial demands.
'We recognize it is important for us to step forward to listen to the community concerns and the DLNR response as representatives of the future of personal watercraft access related issues', states Tom.
Both Tom and Darrick are carrying emergency equipment, communications and are familiar with the transit, which will be approximately 80 miles round trip from Kaneohe Bay.The meeting is being held from between 2-3 PM, it appears a petition has been circulated on Molokai to support the legalization of PWC riding.
The meeting is designed to hear directly from residents regarding concerns about PWC use in their waters, and those who own or operate PWC. It is a beginning of a process of fact finding and administration concerns.
