Note 137 — Introductory material (continued 8)

Men of Wawa, awkward men. Kapua is at the north point of Kohala. An unskillful fisherman in trying to weather the point and keep along with the fleet of canoes would often be obliged to put in there and give up; hence the saying, “Kau i Kapua ka auwaa panana,” panana—hawawa, a saying frequently quoted nowadays. There is also a similar Kapua at Waikiki. ↑
