Hōkūle'a crew member Angela Fa'anunu shares a little of their voyage to Palmyra Atoll via photos.

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.

Happy World Oceans Day
