Navigator Ka‘iulani Murphy welcomed some students from the University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu mathematics program aboard Hōkūle‘a. With professor Dr. Linda Furuto, Ka‘iulani helped the students realize that their current studies are also connected to their culture – bringing past, present and future together.

Mahalo to Outside Hawai‘i for highlighting a very special place on the island of O‘ahu, Ka‘ena Point. Hopefully, we can all work to mālama this native sanctuary.
WWV Crew Reflections: By Tina Daehler-Masifilo March 6, 2010
I have come to realize that as I write my name on a Worldwide Voyage Training sail sign-up sheet, I feel a sense of excitement, wonder, anticipation and an honest pause to reconsider.
Captain Mike Taylor gives a canoe tour to Na Pualani Preschool students:
Stillness came in the early hours of morning… the wind softened and whales surrounded the canoe. I was drifting between dream wanderings when the whales began to sing. Their song traveled through the hulls where I lay with my eyes closed.

Crew training for the Worldwide Voyage (WWV) is at an exciting point.
Well over 100 brand new crewmembers are conducting numerous overnight sails weekly as well as classroom sessions twice a week. Meanwhile, other crews who have been training together for up to two years are beginning to conduct a series of deep-sea sails as the culmination of the required program to qualify for the WWV (at least ten coastal sails, four inter-island crossings and the deep-sea voyage simulation).
As we voyage around Hawai‘i and the world, we hope to learn how other cultures take care of their homes and live sustainably. At this very moment, educators, students, farmers and community leaders in America are coming together to raise awareness about the food we feed our children in school.
