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.
