MILOLIʻI, Hawaii (KHON2) -- Hōkūleʻa made another stop in its journey through the Hawaiian islands. The voyaging canoe made a stop on Hawaiʻi Island to visit Kahoʻolawe and Miloliʻi. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news After spending a little over a week in Māʻalaea, Hōkūleʻa and Maui's voyaging canoe Moʻokiha O Piʻilani of Hui O Waʻa Kaulua departed Maui and sailed seven and a half hours before arriving at Kahoʻolawe. Upon arrival, the canoe was welcomed by Honokanaiʻa by the Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana and Kahoʻolawe Island Reserve Commission. Voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa shares history, mission on Maui Though the overnight stop in Kahoʻolawe was brief, crews used the time to visit "the island's sacred navigation platform and shared stories from the last 50 years of work to reclaim, restore and heal the special place." Hōkūleʻa then departed Kahoʻolawe at 6 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26 to arrive in Miloliʻi at 5:30 p.m. Weather conditions prevented the canoe from sailing through Maui’s Keoneʻōʻio Bay, which is also known as La Perouse and is known to be "the gate" to the Alenuihāhā channel, one of the most dangerous channels in the world. Instead, the canoe sailed directly to Miloliʻi to begin more than two weeks of engagement in Miloliʻi, Honaunau, Keauhou and Kawaihae. Public engagement events are scheduled between Oct. 28 an Nov. 15. A schedule will be announced soon. The Hawaii Island stop is part of a seven-month voyage around the Hawaiian Islands and aims to connect students, visitors and tourists to the "legacy of exploration, environmental stewardship and aloha ʻāina that Hōkūleʻa embodies."
