Moananuiākea Voyage | Leg 14: Bora Bora Arrival

"Many of the crew here, itʻs their first time in Tautira so itʻs been a beautiful experience of a lifetime." - Senior Captain Bruce Blankenfield Hōkūleʻa, Hikianalia and crews departed Tautira, Tahiti, on Thursday, August 7, after an emotional farewell. Never easy to say good-bye to ʻohana, cherished family for nearly half a century, so we say A Hui Hou, until we meet again, with hugs, singing and many tears. Mauruuru roa Tautira, Maururu. "We, the crew are here preparing for our departure from Tautira. Tautira has been the home of Hōkūle’a since the first 1976 voyage, when Hōkūle’a first sailed from Hawai’i to Tahiti. Tautira remains the place we sail to today. It is a place where the locals and residents have always demonstrated their aloha to our crew and canoes." - Hōkūleʻa Captain Kaleomanuiwa Wong #Hokulea50 #Hikianalia #MoananuiakeaVoyage

Lehua Kamalu is the captain and navigator of Hōkūleʻa on the voyage along Kealaikahiki (Road to Tahiti) this month (April 2022). As Hōkūleʻa’s first female captain and navigator, she reflects on what the two roles mean and becoming a leader. "You no longer say oh, let me ask my teacher, let me ask the kapena. Because you are the kapena now. And the way you decide who's going to be on this crew, where are we going to go, how are we going to make this decision today about being prepared. It's kind of all on you. And then you start to lose sleep a little bit." - Lehua Kamalu Stories presented by Polynesian Voyaging Society recognize the contributions of Hōkūleʻa to the cultural renaissance in Hawaiʻi, the contemporary revival of wayfinding and non-instrument navigation, and the call for a worldwide movement to mālama honua.
