From the June 18 pacificislandparks.com page:
We wish them all the best as they journey on to distant lands, taking with them the knowledge and values of the Polynesian culture. A hui ho, malama pono….Take care until we meet again!
I had not heard about this, at all. Fascinating! I wonder when they expect to hit California. There has been nothing on the local news about it. Last time the Hoku Le'a was here as I went aboard a crew woman introduced me to the other visitors, "and here comes our gracious captain". Do you think I basked in the admiration? Anyway, its an amazing feat, I would love to visit the ship or ships if they pull into port here. Maybe they already have. Considering the number of people here who care about Hawai'i its always a little disarming how little attention the press here pays to it.
Today, crews from a fleet of seven traditional voyaging canoes from New Zealand, Samoa and Tahiti paid a visit to Pu`ukohola Heiau National Historic Site on the Big Island of Hawaii. Some of the voyaging canoes have been at sea since April traveling across the immense Pacific Ocean.
