Kaua‘i Crew Training: Preparations
In order to accomplish a goal as enormous as the worldwide voyage, it's important that the entire ‘Ohana Wa‘a (Canoe Family) trains and works together. On each of the major Hawaiian islands, dedicated voyagers are preparing for this exciting voyage.
One such crew from Kaua‘i flew to O‘ahu in order to sail Hōkūle‘a to their home island. On Kaua‘i, they represented the ‘Ohana Wa‘a very well - conducting training sails and hosting community tours aboard Hōkūle‘a.
Without a voyaging canoe on island, having Hōkūle‘a at their disposal was a real treat. However, Kaua‘i ‘Ohana Wa‘a members will soon have their own canoe. They are busy working to complete the Namahoe and hope to have her sailing soon. If you would like to volunteer to assist with the Namahoe, please feel free to email Dennis Chun at dennisch at hawaii dot edu.
In the coming days, we will be sharing portions of the Kaua‘i crewʻs training. We hope you join them in learning about life aboard Hōkūle‘a.
