Happening now: Outrigger-canoe racing brings Hawai’i to Alki

As previewed in this morning’s “West Seattle Saturday” lineup – the Seattle Outrigger Canoe Club is on (and off!) Alki Beach today for its annual “Da Grind” race day. They’re running two courses, a 12-mile and a 4-mile; the third wave of racing is scheduled to head out around 2:30 pm.

The first wave had already headed out when we stopped by, but we did get a good view of today’s low tide (-2.1 at about quarter past 11):

No outriggers tomorrow, but the tide will be almost as low, -2.0 just before noon tomorrow.

ADDED: April Long shared more photos (thank you!):
