Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia arrive in Tongatapu in the Kingdom of Tonga.

Watching this first sunset at sea as a voyaging crewmember on my first deep ocean crossing, my mind and heart say that Hōkūleʻa and the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage help set our sights on so much more

During this experience, especially in the past several days, I've been learning and fine tuning my navigation and wayfinding skills. This experience will give me the foundation that I can share with others when I go back home.

We can't control the winds, but we can control when we leave.

I ka moana no ka iʻa, liuliu ʻia na pono lawaiʻa. While the fish is still in the sea, get your gear ready. Be prepared.

This bright September morning felt like the right time to kanikapila (play music) for the crew and Doug and his family.

In addition to provisioning for a deep sea voyage, the onboard arrangement of food, water, and supplies are carefully managed.
