He Wa`a, He Honua - The Earth is Our Canoe

“He waʻa he honua -- The Earth is our canoe,” shares how Hawai’i has pulled renaissance from the edge of extinction before and Hōkūleʻa can - and must -- do so again. As we all cope with the uncertainty created by COVID-19, we see the continued impacts of human activity on our environment and our planet. We feel an imperative to continue our work to Mālama Honua.

Wonderful video. How typical of the Western World to think monohulls are better for long distance voyages. I owned a Wharram catamaran for three years which made me appreciate the sea worthiness of Polynesian vessels.
