- Hawai`i is one of the remote places on the planet.

And in the open ocean, there are no landmarks.

Just pure nature, and that's what we're doing today

she is a replica of a Polynesian voyaging canoe.

They were the mode of transportation for discovering

- There's no metal, there's no screws, there's no nails,

there's no braces that hold the canoe together.

there's no navigation equipment that we use

We started in Hawai`i in end of May, 2014.

which first ended up going towards Tahiti,

Kaleo Wong is one of the apprentice navigators.

and he was on his own across the Atlantic Ocean,

I mean, he was just so successful, you know, after traveling like 1,200 miles,

finding just little islands in the middle of nowhere.

our biggest clue that tells us where we are

so if we just know where one point of is,

We memorize close to 200 stars and know where they rise

and where they set and how they move across the skies.

- The sun and the stars and everything work in conjunction

with the swells, so in the absence of the sun,

then you maintain the orientation of the crew

The Hokulea was built with the express purpose

of proving that navigation by the ancient way

was very viable, that these canoes could be guided

They proved that on their very first voyage in 1976.

Kaleo and these others, they're just like a pinch of salt
