 |
|
I suspect that many of you already know about this project:
Moananuiākea is Hōkūle‘a’s 15th major voyage in her first 50 years..
This is certainly a publicity filled voyage, yet it is epic if they are really using ancient navigation techniques, No power or engine aboard.
A page of diagrams of the traditional sailing Canoe which has been voyaging for 50 years!
Yes there are some modern upgrades, like solar panels, radios, and I'll bet a GPS or two. But any way still impressive. A bit of Polynesia. in Port Townsend.

She was up in S.E. Alaska for a good while this summer. Interesting and seaworthy looking vessel. Responsibly outfitted with some com gear.
