Hokuleas
fantastic voyage
The Hokule'a, Hawaii's first traditional voyaging canoe, embarks on its greatest and most challenging voyage -- a journey that will take it to Rapa Nui, the most isolated inhabited island in the world. Today, the Star-Bulletin presents the first of two special sections devoted to the sail of the century. The first looks at the ship and its crew. The second focuses on the Hokule'a's destination -- an island watched over by massive stone giants. Look for it next week Monday.
