We expect to be close to the land tomorrow morning, it’s only about 25 miles away.

"Everybody onboard are happy to see and feel the magic of Hōkūleʻa finding these islands guided by our ancestors. And we look forward to a couple more days of sailing until we arrive in Australia."

Hōkūleʻa continues through the Tasman Sea and the varying weather conditions.

We are estimating about 15 to 20 foot seas. We had some 30 foot rollers every once in a while. No sun, there's so much clouds we can't see the sun. We're just navigating our canoe by the direction of the swells and the wind.

We are using the star Hōkūleʻa to guide the waʻa Hōkūleʻa to get to our destination. We're also using some Southern stars: Newe, Kamailemua, and Kamailehope.
