The Hawaiian Sailing Canoe Association, families from the Kaneohe area and other sailing canoe groups participated Saturday in a Makahiki closing ceremony. The canoes, carrying someone to represent the god Lono, sailed from Kualoa Regional Park to the Marine Corps base at Kaneohe. Kimo Cameron * chanted after he came ashore and caught a spear thrown by Manu Suganuma as a sign of respect.
