Up Close: The Hōkūleʻa

15

From March 26, 2025.  Opps, forgot to post.

It was a beautiful morning to jump on the boat and explore.  Just going out to sea and going with the flow.  Seeing where the flow will take us.  

The Dove girls in the back enjoying the ride.

We passed by and saw the Hōkūleʻa !  OMG, the timing couldn’t have been any better.  So we got out and went to check it out close up.

When you’re this close to this historic canoe, you get chicken skin.  You can feel the power, you can feel the history, and it feels like you were right there.  Navigating the world using stars, finding new islands, and exploring places that were never explored before.  Half a century of experience! 

Thank you for another amazing day!  It’s cool how you can experience and learn new things everyday here in Hawaii.  The place where surfing was born, and the place where theHōkūleʻa was born!

Oh, I forgot we surfed!  Haha.  Another secret spot all to ourselves.  What another amazing day!
