In our final episode, Hōkūleʻa completes her journey through Polynesia and prepares to leave the Pacific for the first time ever.

The Hawai’i to Tahiti leg was the fastest crossing ever of this ancestral pathway, a 16-day voyage crewmembers will not soon forget. The second leg, equally amazing, would take the waʻa and her crew to 11 different ports, over 44 days.

Join us for the second episode in our four-part series as a new generation of young navigators battle to overcome fatigue, the elements and their own anxieties to pull Tahiti from the sea.

In this episode, we look into the physical, mental and spiritual training and preparation that both waʻa and crew endure to be ready for their most ambitious journey yet.
