Saturday morning on the waterfront. Outrigger club is gathering, two long outrigger boats are pulled near the water. The crew stands in a circle. I can't tell what they are doing. Later walking back from the wharf I hear their shouts and grunts glide over the water as they pull their paddles through the water.

In the plaza a 40 foot tall banquet hall tent is being taken down by a large crew of strong men. Piles of tent cloths, rigging, poles, cranes and lumber are scattered over the plaza. To the side a solitary woman in a security guard uniform protects the site. We nod and smile at each other while we watch these men work hard.
