"Growth happens when opportunities are given to us that require us to stretch beyond what we already know."

Enroute to Waiheke Island, Barbara Blake previews the Worldwide Voyage crew's participation with Sustainable Coastlines New Zealand.

As Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia set sail on their most ambitious voyage, crewmembers are actively working to ensure that the impact they make onboard the canoe are affecting people around the world.

Hikianalia shares the mission of the Worldwide Voyage with a sail plan that includes Hawaiʻi and North American ports.

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.

I feel honored to be sailing in the wake of Hōkūleʻa to my home land of Aotearoa with the thought in mind that she represents the revitalization of this art of wayfinding.

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.
