Navigator Ka'iulani Murphy recaps recent days voyaging near Rangitahua as the wa'a continue onto Aotearoa.

Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia experience a range of weather conditions as they journey farther south to Aotearoa.

We're looking at Kauluakoko (Betelgeuse) and ʻAʻa (Sirius) as they should be rising together and stay together as they travel up into the sky.

This will serve as your happy Halloween update from Hōkuleʻa and Hikianalia.

The sun just set with a small green flash over our forward starboard beam. With the sun setting, we have calm seas and a steady 10-knot wind. The golden horizon blends from a soft orange to purple to blue as you look up to the heavens.

Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia depart Nukuʻalofa in the Kindgom of Tonga and now journey to Aotearoa.

Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia arrive in Tongatapu in the Kingdom of Tonga.

During this experience, especially in the past several days, I've been learning and fine tuning my navigation and wayfinding skills. This experience will give me the foundation that I can share with others when I go back home.
