⇑⇓ MORE BULLETS ON DUKE KAHANAMOKU'S ALREADY IMPRESSIVE RÉSUMÉ "Duke was a class act. Surfer, sailor, actor, statesman, he truly was an inspiration." — Chris Prescott. "Duke's powerboat is still used by WYC." — Rich Jones. "Truly a remarkable man. I do so envy my dad and my cousin; they both got to meet him. I have a postage stamp with his image in my collection." — Mary Westlake. "Duke was an avid sailor, a Transpac sailor and a founding member of Waikiki Yacht Club. He lived on his boat, called the NaDu K2 (Nadine, Duke, Kahanamoku 2), at the club. The boat is back at the club as our MCB and flagship. In those days, the popular boats were S class, Star Boats, 110s and Moon class boats. Duke's contributions are documented in our history and can be found at www.waikikiyachtclub.com/ About-WYC/History.aspx" — Michael Roth.

⇑⇓ WHAT'S NEXT FOR BERKELEY MARINA? Good on Latitude for writing about the Berkeley Marina [in last month's issue]. In a word, it has turned into a shithole. And that is, indeed, sad. I am a captain with the Pegasus Project, which is berthed at K Dock. We took a majority of Berkeley city councilmembers out for a sail, starting with a walking tour of the marina, followed by motoring around the marina so that the councilmembers could get a water view. Then we went for a short sail so they could see what we do with kids. We also talked about the other nonprofits that work out of the marina. In short, they were appalled by the conditions. Only one of
