With each and every vogage we carry with us the aloha, mana‘o and mana of hundreds (if not thousands) of people who help prepare for our journeys across the ocean.

Our gratitude is immeasurable. We know that it is through their dedication that we continue on the path of our ancestors towards our common future.

While it would be impossible to list the countless volunteers who so unselfishly give to the 'Ohana Wa‘a, we would like to extend our most sincere aloha to each and every one of you.

We receive lots of questions about the basics of sailing. As we train for the worldwide voyage, we will document some of what goes into sailing. In this video, Aukai Cavaco shares about the sheet line.

Carl from LA wrote in and asked, "What does a watch captain do?" Luckily, we had just filmed watch captain Kaina Holomalia speaking with the students of Nā Pua No‘eau summer program.  During their tour of Hōkūle‘a, he explained the kuleana (duties and responsibility) of those on watch.

Hōkūle‘aʻs youngest deep-sea voyager, Kailin Kim, is a truly amazing young woman. At seventeen, she and her fellow crewmates sailed Hōkūle‘a home to Hawai‘i from Palmyra Atoll.

In this video, We have footage of her hosting students from the Nā Pua No‘eau summer program as well as some clips from the recent journey to Palmyra Atoll.
