Voyaging to Hawaii

A   L   O   H   A !
Coming and Going to Hawaii


" For the execution of 
the voyage to the Indies, 
I did not make use 
of intelligence, mathematics 
or maps. "

Christopher Columbus











Every Day, and Night 
in all Weather, Our Visitors Come












They come for the Sun, 
Scents, Light - 


" Looking back 
at my life's voyage, 
I can only say that 
it has been a golden trip. "

Ginger Rogers







They Come for the Flowers

" The universe lies 
before you 
on the floor, in the air, 
in the mysterious 
bodies of your dancers, 
in your mind. 
From this voyage 
no one returns 
poor or weary. " 


Agnes de Mille











The First Hawaiians Navigated here
in great Voyaging Canoes [ like this ]
See a Hawaiian Voyaging canoe 
under sail with her crew,
and learn about upcoming 
Hokulea`a world-wide voyage








Kolea (Golden Plover)
 comes every Autumn (hungry)
Returning (rested and plump)
 to Alaska in the Spring.






Thank You for YOUR Visit!
                   Warm Aloha, Cloudia

Hi Cloudia!
I just saw the video of Canoe and Crew. How wonderful to be at sea and work together.
I always have the feeling that the Hawaiians and Maoris are related.

I think about the Polynesian sailors in their canoes, the long voyage using the stars, and their faith there was a desirable destination at the end of their travails, and can only be in awe of their bravery.

Gorgeous images and two really excellent videos, thanks Cloudia.

I've been seeing koleas around town. They sure are pretty birds.

Cloudia said...

Those Polynesian Voyagers were amazing people. Their contemporary successors are quite amazing people as well!

Thanks, dear friends for sharing your comments
