Results- Vaka Eiva 2008

Well the vaka Eiva is just fantasic this year. Lots of crews, 30 degree heat and not much rain. Couldnt ask for more.

Bernie Murch won the Open Womens Singles on Saturday. 5 minutes ahead of Tahitian Mildred Taha.

Yesterday the 18km race saw a few crews encouter the reef a little too closley. Nappy's Anuenue team ended up over the reef and luckely they were all safe.

My Aotearoa Oiwi team got coaght by a rougue wave and our Ama came off......Oooops. We only had 2km to go and were in 3rd place. Oh well...thats racing! we have fun!

Vaka Manu came 4th in the open mens 18km and Team Phoenix finished a close second in the master mens behind team xylo.

Next up is the junior race today and the sprints tomorow.
