ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images and two really excellent videos, thanks Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing koleas around town. They sure are pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteThose Polynesian Voyagers were amazing people. Their contemporary successors are quite amazing people as well!
