As reported on this site earlier on March 20, 2010, there are a number of Bills going through this year’s Hawaii State Legislature that could be of relevance to us at the Ilikai.
Ala Wai Harbor
This includes several Bills that include the Ala Wai Harbor in their scopes. Here is a detailed update as of today, April 3, 2010, regarding the status of those Bills. This update was put together and so kindly supplied to us by Makai Society that is representing members of the ocean use community. We THANK them so much for all their tireless efforts and for keeping us apprised! Sincere huge THANKS!
Since we are on this subject, here is some information about the Ala Wai Harbor for readers who are not as familiar with the area. The Ala Wai Harbor is a small boat and yacht harbor in Honolulu, HI. Situated at the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal, it separates Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. The harbor hosts 700 berths, 85 moorings, 1 boat ramp, and 20 dry storage spaces.
Ala Wai Harbor
Our Ilikai as well as the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki and Hilton Hawaiian Village are located adjacent to this harbor, with views of the harbor from many of the rooms. The TransPac sailing race is a very big event that takes place every two years; the race begins in Los Angeles and ends at the Ala Wai Harbor. The harbor has the Ala Wai Harbor Waikiki Yacht Club and the Hawaii Yacht Club.
