"If I knew what the photograph
was going to look like,
I wouldn't bother taking it.
It's the voyage of discovery
that fascinates me."
Lois Greenfield
Hawaiian Voyaging Canoes like this
have navigated around the globe!
"What was most significant
about the lunar voyage
was not that men set foot
on the moon but that they
set eye on the earth."
Norman Cousins
"Happy the man who, like Ulysses,
has made a fine voyage, or
has won the Golden Fleece,
and then returns, experienced
and knowledgeable, to spend
the rest of his life
among his family."
Joachim du Bellay

I would love a short sailing trip even around the harbour in a voyaging canoe. They look powerfully built. Love the quotes
The Navigators way find by the stars, currents, animal life, skies!
Thanks Friends <3
The voyaging canoe is quite a pleasant sight, and looks seaworthy.
That is a really nice song.
We could all use a happy star!
I went by the Elmocambo today - still a ton of work to do!
