Today, the family journeyed over to the east side of the island. There, at Kualoa beach, we had a couple of fun hours in the sun looking at outrigger canoes, going for a boat ride, and getting to see the newly rebuilt Hokule'a. The Hokule'a is preparing for a 6 month inter island sailing training voyage, and will then embark on a 4 year around the world voyage.
"Along with other members of the ‘Ohana Waa (Family of Canoes), Hokulea will be returning this Saturday, April 14, to the shores of Kualoa, where the public is invited to see the newly renovated canoe and other ‘ohana vessels, meet the navigators and celebrate the launch of a statewide educational sail.."

A short flashback:
In 2009, Fritz was on the Hokule'a - before he was born! Here is a photo of our short boat ride on the Hokule'a on December 12 2009.
Later in the evening, we headed over to Lanikai to hang out with Matt and Mike to do some more boating!
A beautiful evening at Lanikai
Hi guys! Wow what a cool outing!
ReplyDeleteI see that my little buddy Fritz was fully outfitted for the adventure!
Love,
Dad!
