Looking forward to the arrival of Sail Boat Deception #transpac

Tiki's Grill & Bar is looking forward to greeting Deception in a few hours. Depending on wind it might be 11:30 pm or 2:30 am.
We have a great welcoming group with Fresh Flower Lei's, Pupu's, Coconut Cups, Conch Shell blowing, ICE, Cold Raps, Ti Leaf Leis, a Hula Dancer and lots of Aloha.

You can see the current position by clicking the map bellow.

Here is the banner we plan to greet them dock side. No matter what time they arrive:

Double Trouble races to Hawaii to meet Tiki's Grill & Bar! Transpacific Yacht Race has started.

Tiki's Grill & Bar is the official greeting committee for Double Trouble a J/125 that is racing to Hawaii. Our friends on Double Trouble will be starting on Friday July 8th in Division 4.
We are currently racing too, trying to complete our new drink "DOUBLE TROUBLE", this needs to happen before the boat arrives as we plan to meet them dock side no matter what time of day or night when they arrive. We have the main ingredient figured out "Malibu Black" - (new 70 proof spiced rum from Mailbu), the other elements have been a little elusive.
