This is a photo I took of the Holulea sailing canoe on June 15, 1999 shortly after departing from Hilo Bay on the voyage to Rapa Nui. Their first stop was the Mangareva
@xxxx nice. During that waiting period I had the pleasure of hanging out with Nainoa Thompson on her deck.
@hawaiiboy He is brilliant. High on the list of the most challenging and inspirational people I have ever met.
@xxxx I have recording of a radio interview with him during that period that I arranged. I was working for KWXX on Hawaii island at the time. I’ll look for it and find a way to share
@hawaiiboy Here's a link to an interview that I arranged at the radio station I worked at in Hilo with the morning DJs Kat and and the late Keala (of Sudden Rush) This was during the Navigating Change Voyage (2003–2004) to the NW Hawaiian Islands. Hope you like it
@hawaiiboy So cool! Thank you for sharing. I love these kinds of recordings. He sounds like he is really in the thick of it. His humility is unreal. I have a friend going to the NW Hawaiian islands this month, I'll be sharing with her. Mahalo!
