Mike Taylorʻs Photo Stream

Crew member Mike Taylor was one of the few people who was on both legs of the Palmyra voyage (on the Kama Hele going to Palmyra and the Hōkūle'a on the way back). His experiences on the two legs were vastly different.

Here he shares a few photos from the journey back to Hawai'i. Because the weather was so wet and rough, cameras didn't come out very often. You can see from these images how different the voyage was compared to what we've been seeing from the journey to Palmyra.

Additional photos from Mike may be found on our YouTube channel.

The Hōkūle'a just completed a sail to Palmyra Atoll, 1,000 miles south of Hawai'i, as training for the Hōkūle'a Wolrdwide Voyage in which the traditional Hawaiian canoe will circumnavigate the Earth using ancient Polynesian navigation techniques. The crew carry with them the idea that we are all crew members on Canoe Earth and, just as on Hōkūle'a, we need to care for one another an our resources.
