Kaleo Wong- ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi Update

Navigation update by Kaleo Wong.

Waʻa Hikianalia and the Worldwide Voyage ʻOhana Waʻa crew recently arrived in Lāhaina under the leadership of '76 crewmember Snake Ah Hee.

Mahalo Hōkūleʻa for 40 years of aloha, we all look forward to a happy new year sailing with you carrying the pride of Hawaii and the Hawaiian people around the world.

ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi update by Kaleo Wong

Last night, a cold fog rolled in on us, the wind slowly died to 3-4 mph, and the ocean turned silver gray - it was like sailing in a cloud.

Here we are on our 5th day out of Cape Town travelling up the coast of the continent of Africa.

Day 4 (December 27) was a good sailing day for both Hōkūleʻa and Gershon II. We are averaging about 7 knots on 15-20 mph SSE winds and small seas of 4 feet, with clear skies all day. It was a great day to fine-tune our steering skills.
