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

  3. 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.

  16. 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.
