every night hubby and I check on the progress of Hokulea and Hikianalia.
They've crossed the equator, are more than half way to Tahiti.
It's amazing.
what's even more amazing is that we're able to track them
and they are using satellites and equipment on Hikianalia to
record this voyage. They are sending back photos and
videos actually from the boats.
Malama Honua means "to care for our Earth". When they catch fish
it's not only for food, but they are also studying these fish to see what affects
there have been on the deep water life.
Since we've both been on Hokulea, we can appreciate these size of the canoes
compared to the very HUGE ocean they are crossing only using ancient ways
of navigating.
When we heard Nainoa Thompson speak months ago, he said that
this voyage is for the children of Hawai'i and to teach them....
