Voyager Be

A  L  O  H  A !
"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

Hokule`a is the happy star the
first Hawaiians followed to Hawaii,
and also the name of the first
modern Hawaiian Voyaging canoe
which has circumnavigated the globe!

I would love a short sailing trip even around the harbour in a voyaging canoe. They look powerfully built. Love the quotes

The voyaging canoe is quite a pleasant sight, and looks seaworthy.

We could all use a happy star!
I went by the Elmocambo today - still a ton of work to do!
