Hokule‘a and Hikianalia to sail on 4-year voyage
The Polynesian Voyaging Society announced Tuesday that the Hokule‘a is scheduled to embark June 15 on a 43,000-nautical-mile journey circumnavigating the Pacific. It will launch from Juneau, Alaska, while its sister canoe, the Hikianalia, is scheduled to join the expedition in August from Seattle.
The expedition is called the Moananuiakea Voyage, and PVS hopes it will spark a movement of “planetary navigators” by developing young leaders and engaging communities around the world to take part in navigating the earth toward a healthy and thriving future, according to a news release.
