Ocean faring has been a way of life for the Polynesian peoples through-out the Pacific since time immemorial. Indeed, those who originally popu-lated the Hawaiian islands centuries ago undertook long ocean voyages in double-hulled sailing canoes to get here in the first place. Once here, their canoes were crucial for every-thing from fishing for sustenance to transportation around and between the islands.

In more recent years, and with great technological advances, sailing the ocean blue has become a popular

leisure activity, as well as a competitive sport, with dozens of boats pushing out on weekend days from any given harbor, and races such as the Transpac (San Pedro, Calif., to Honolulu), which started in 1906, drawing entries from around the globe.

At Waikoloa Beach Resort, guests with a penchant for getting out on the water can sign up with Ocean Sports (HawaiiOceanSports.com) for snorkel cruises, whale watching cruises, sun-set sails, and exclusive charters ... and maybe experience a small part of his-tory in the process.

“Seasmoke is our ‘flagship’ catamaran,” says Ray Gallegos, Ocean Sports’ General Manager, referring to the historic 58-foot boat the company owns and uses for guest excursions. “We do brag about her history during every charter.”

Seasmoke, it turns out, was commissioned in 1966 by actor James Arness, who played Marshall Matt Dillon on the famous 1960s television show, “Gunsmoke.” Arness, an avid sailor, asked Rudy Choy of C/S/K Catamarans to build him “the fastest boat on the water.” An early advo-cate of catamarans and trimarans, Choy built Arness a cat that did indeed blow past its competition.

Arness entered his new boat in the 1968 Multihull Transpac — a California-to-Hawai`i event co-founded in 1964 by the Outrigger Canoe Club and the Ocean Racing Catamaran Association, as the “original” Transpac didn’t allow multi-hulled entries until 1995 — and that year, Seasmoke proved her speed and prowess by arriving at Diamond Head buoy a day-and-a-half ahead of every other boat in the race. She showed similar dominance for the next several years.

“She doesn’t compete in cross-ocean sail-ing races anymore,” Gallegos says. “When she was first racing in the Transpac, she had over 5,000 square feet of sail. As a compari-son, we’re currently only allowed to run 879 square feet of sail. Since her racing days, a lot of hardware has been added to the boat too, including her engines, which make her much easier to navigate when on a whale-watch cruise, for example. Saying that, occa-sionally she’ll be chartered to run a sailing regatta with our other catamaran, Manu Iwa, and perhaps one or two other Big Island sail-ing catamarans. These aren’t serious races, but Seasmoke always holds her own.”

In time, Arness turned to other pursuits and donated the boat to the Sea Scouts (similar to Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts, but on the water) in California. The boat eventually was sold and began running as a charter catamaran. In 1981, she was acquired by Ocean Sports when they first opened operations on the Big Island. She left for Maui in 1984, but, says Gallegos, “we got her back again in 1993 … and we’re never letting her go!”

UP SHE RISESToday’s racing boats are significantly faster than Seasmoke was in her heyday. When she crossed the finish line in the 1968 Transpac, for example, her elapsed time was 10 days, 9 hours. The fastest elapsed time for a multi-hull in the 2019 Transpac was 4 days, 11 hours … an improvement of almost six days!

It’s also easy to forget that it wasn’t that long ago that catamarans and trimarans were unproven technology. An article in the May 6, 1968, issue of Sports Illustrated by Hugh Whall, titled “Hey Ho and Up She Rises” discusses the then-new concept of multi-hulled sailing vessels.

“Innovation in any form has always been met with distrust at sea,” Whall wrote. “A traditionalist by training and temperament, the blue-water sailor, out of sight of land and dependent utterly on his vessel, has

too much at stake to cast aside lightly the proved and the practical. Yet there is always within him the urge to sail faster and farther, with less effort and more comfort.

“That urge in recent years has been gratified by a growing fleet of oceangoing sailboats that substitute two or even three hulls for the traditional single hull. Roomy, comfortable, often cheaper to build than ordi-nary craft, multi-hulled catamarans and trimarans can swoop down combers in the open sea at speeds of 20, 25 or even 30 knots — speeds unimagined in even the fastest 19th-century clipper ships.”

The speed and excitement of the new craft design, Whall wrote, “won over such previously dedicated monohull men as TV’s Jim Arness, a long-time blue-water sailor.”

The passion Arness had for sailing and Hawai`i is still felt to this day. “This story brings me back to some pretty fantastic memories,” says Becky Ryan, Sales and Marketing Administrator, Waikoloa Beach & Kings’ Course. “My dad met Mr. Arness and his son while surfing at Makaha (`Oahu) and they became acquainted and would surf together when James was on island. Realizing my dad’s love for the sea, Arness invited us for a sail. I was six or seven, and it was the first time I had ever been on a catamaran and it was amazing. I already shared my dad’s love of the ocean and sailing but, I fell even harder that day. It is really nice to see the old picture of Seasmoke with her sails full in the wind. Those are memories I’ll carry forever.”

Though today she serves as a

comfortable snorkel and whale

watching cruise vessel, there was

a time that Seasmoke was the

fastest boat on the water.

“You can rarely go wrong with jewelry for Valentine’s Day!" says Mary Jane

Smithson, co-owner with her husband of Mary Jane's in Kings' Shops. And with a wide variety of jewelry from sparkly to sporty to sentimental, she's more than happy to help you select the perfect Valentine’s Gift for your special someone!

The store opened at Kings’ Shops on January 1, 2012. "Before we moved here in 2011," Smithson says, "we had been visiting the Big Island and staying in the Waikoloa Beach Resort for several years as tourists. We fell in love with the area and knew that we wanted to open a boutique here."

Smithson says it's her goal to "provide prod-ucts, as well as an experience, that make our guests feel special. Whether it's a gift with a

sentimental message on it, a dress that makes her feel beautiful or a piece of jewelry that com-plements an outfit she already owns, I want her to be pleased with her purchase."

In addition to jewelry, Smithson carries a wide variety of products, including clothing, and accessories, with popular lines such as Alex & Ani, Kendra Scott, Marahlago, MantraBands, and 4Ocean.

"I have a preference for products from women-owned companies and companies that give back to their communities or various charities," she says. "We strive to provide something for everyone. One of my favorite things to hear from our guests is that there is so much to look at and choose from — something different around every corner of the store."

When in Hawaii, eat what the locals eat: seafood! At Queens’ MarketPlace, the place to go is Sansei Seafood, Steakhouse and Sushi Bar.

Contemporary sushi and new wave Asian-inspired dishes served in a lively setting are what make Sansei one of Hawai`i’s most critically acclaimed and wildly popular restaurants. Wine Spectator described the restaurant’s “endless innovation with a strong Japanese accent.” Bon Appetit named Sansei one of its “Favorite Asian Restaurants” and one of “America’s Best Sushi Bars.”

Sansei’s sushi chefs are known for their highly imaginative creations, like their signature Panko Crusted Ahi Roll and the famous Kapalua Butterfly Roll, a colorful delight of salmon, crab, shiromi, and fresh vegetables. The multi-award-winning Asian Shrimp Cake with Ginger Lime Butter and Cilantro Pesto is a delicate shrimp cake encased in crispy Chinese noodles.

H otel lobby lounges don't get enough credit, particularly at the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort

& Spa. At both resorts, the lounges closest to the lobbies are far more than a place to wait while your room is being readied.

Indeed, both Aka'ula Lanai (Marriott) and Kona Tap Room (Hilton) are distinctive gathering places to meet family, plan or celebrate the day's activities, enjoy a beverage or snack, or simply sit and relax.

Aka'ula is open nowadays only from 6 am to noon, offering coffee and pastries; but it offers the perfectly elevated perch for watching a glorious sunset over the Pacific.

Kona Tap Room, meanwhile, is open from 11 am to 11 pm, offering a wide range of local beer choices from Kona Brewing Company along with several domestic and international favorites. Cocktails and wine choices are also available, as is a menu of food ranging from lobster mac and cheese to mahimahi tacos, and entertainment nightly from 8 – 11 pm.

Sansei

The first Sansei opened in 1996 at Kapalua Resort, Maui, with additional locations opening in Honolulu, Kihei, Maui, and at Waikoloa Beach Resort, in 2000, 2002, and 2008 respectively.

The Japanese word “sansei” refers to “third generation” and founder D.K. Kodama felt it was a fitting name for a restaurant inspired by Japanese tradition also serving contemporary interpretations of sushi and Asian cuisine. It is also a reference to D.K. Kodama’s background as a third generation Japanese American.
